"Blown out at the worst time?"

I agree that the earlier the loss the better, but would not getting blown out at very last game of the year be just as bad if not worse?

That's what happened in 2006. Got our butts kicked in LA, bringing our resume to:

0-2 (both 20+ point losses, one at home) vs. elite teams
1-0 vs ranked teams (Penn State #25)
Come from behind wins vs MSU (4-8) and UCLA (7-5)
And whole lot of nothing else

I'd say that is a worse resume than this year by more than a hair including the freshest of impressions of final game blowout.

I don't disagree with your overall point. I just don't see how it serves to differentiate the seasons.
