So the 12-0 team played 12 0-12 teams? And the same season there existed a 0-12
team that lost every game by 1 to 12 12-0 teams. Odds are that one of the 0-12 teams that the 12-0 team beat is the 0-12 team that lost every game by 1 to 12 12-0 teams. So the 12-0 team is better since it beat the 0-12 team.

Who's better at basketball, the guy who beat 12 4th graders by one or the guy who lost to 12 NBA players by one?

But why would you assume that the 12-0 teams are actually any good when you’re arguing that the 0-12 team is better?

No, there's not enough info. So that's why you look at other information, such as SOS, SOR, predictive metrics, etc.

That’s what I said. Not enough info to determine either way. That’s why you leave assumptions about who is “better” to

But based on the information we have, it's ok to make a choice. In reality, we will never have enough information
