It doesn’t. I said with the info provided they “may” have played, and team A won. The data would fit perfectly. But team
B could not have won a head-to-head in this scenario.
There aren’t likely to be many 12-0 or 0-12 teams in any given season that happened to have the exact same margin of victory, let alone 12. If it happened, more likely than not that they were one of the 12 on each others’ schedule.

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
