I just re-read my post and realize I may have been a little obtuse.

I thought you/we were isolating two specific points of comparison when trying to rank one team vis-à-vis another team (total number of losses and late season losses).

I was working under the assumption that you would rank Boise State, Memphis, and Appalachian State ahead of Notre Dame, on the basis of those two specific points of comparison. Sliding those teams up in the rankings would push Notre Dame down to #17.
Cool

The number of losses are not as important when comparing upper tier to lower tier teams that play decidedly weaker schedules like App State.
