One-loss champion versus unbeaten independent: settle it

SaturdaySage Junior Member #1 · Original post · Fri, 04 September 2026 15:13 One-loss champion versus unbeaten independent: settle it Imagine the one-loss champion has four ranked wins and lost by three on the road. The unbeaten independent owns two solid wins, no elite victory, and dominated everyone else. Both pass the eye test. I lean toward the champion because the schedule created more chances to fail, but punishing an unbeaten team feels wrong.
