I agree, play tougher teams. However, losing to tougher teams doesn't constitute being a playoff team. There has to be a finer line between sos and wins and now im hearing scoring margin is in play. Which is ridiculous.
A good loss? Better than a regular win? Maybe, but winning has to be more important. Head to head has to count alot too.
Too many variables that nobody knows. How are we supposed to schedule? 8-2 vs an avg schedule with a good loss to tough team or 2-8 with a extremely difficult one with 1 win vs solid team and 1 vs a cream puff. Whos got better resume?
Point margin is 3+ times more important than record. That is the most absurd thing ive ever seen. Throw in a close loss is better than a quality win.
If this is max preps model. It woild explain allot.
Basically
Score alot
Losing is ok, if you play tough teams. Dont worry about wins,
This is not what 1 single coach would endorse.
Whats crazy is the computer cant understand a rivalry game and what is "supposed" to be a 25 pt blow out, but rivalry games are the most human element possible. A 7pt win, still is a win. A 7pt loss, is still a loss. Loss to a good team, ok, but a win irregardless should be significantly higher than a loss or a good loss. On field actions are never factored in. Like injuries or rain delay.
