Weird thing about rankings wrt number of losses is they still won't necessarily reflect the quality of a team. Texas A&M could end the year with 5 losses, to Clemson, Alabama, LSU, Georgia, and Auburn.....and hypothetically still be a top 15 team. But they wouldn't sniff the polls with 5 losses.
Mind you, I'm not saying they are/will be a Top 15 quality team....only that they could be. You see 5 losses and think and think "They must have a mediocre team," but then you look at how many teams might lose to those five. A&M should've just gone ahead and scheduled Ohio State ooc and gone down as the greatest six-loss team in history.
