This kinda hurts your argument. I don't exactly what you're trying to say here. Are you saying that we should put more stock into Ws and Ls because they play less games? Because that's what you are suggesting. You're right every single game matters. But that's why Wins and Losses need to be factored out. Looking at Ws and Ls classifies everything as black or white when each game is a shade of grey. Looking at everything (ie score, schedule, margin of victory, etc) tries to then put a correct shade on the game. If a team outgains another by 400 yards and loses they probably lost because of a fumble by Mike Hart (heh). I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. The single point of even playing the game is to determine a winner and a loser, regardless of how you reach that point. This is the single reason for even playing sports. I understand what you are saying about factoring in score and schedule and agree with you, but the base line for any determining factor is wins and losses.
