As the AP rankings stand today. No Pre-Season ESPN hoopla bullshit! (See USC 2012)
Team A:
Best Wins: No wins over Top 25
Loss to #11 team in the nation.
Team B:
Best Wins: #8, #9, #13
Loss to #3 team in the nation
Just going off of actual on the field results, who should be ranked higher?

Team A. Clearly they have beaten teams so badly as to knock them completely out the top-25

I can go with that. Especially if Bama plays ND in the BCSNCG. See Sugar Bowl Circa 2007

I would argue that Florida hasn't looked that good against some bad teams, but Tim Brown defended Notre Dame's close games against Purdue, Michigan, BYU, Pitt, and BC by saying that it showed mental toughness and that they could win close games. Of course he said Florida had no business in the top 10 as well for close games against subpar teams as well.
Maybe Florida is more mentally tough than Oregon is good.

No, Oregon has no business up there with that extremely weak schedule and bad loss compared to other highly ranked teams. Also Stanford does not belong ahead of LSU or any other 2 loss team. Going off of W/L's and common opponent/s and all that jazz.
Your homer tendencies along with your Conference envy makes it hard to have a rational conversation with you. But I will keep trying.

I should note that I think FSU kills Fla this weekend. I just wanted to point out the always prevalent West Coast bias. To make sure a team is ranked high even though they do not deserve it.

bad loss? They lost in Overtime to a top-10 team.
Stanford lost on the road to UW, who is the ultimate jekyl and hyde team when comparing how they play at home to on the road, and they lost in overtime, on a controversial call on the road to the #1 ranked team.

actually are certainly a top-20 team by bookmakers. When money is on the line, all the bullshit is thrown aside.

Look who is being a homer. Bad loss? If Stanford is a bad loss then, I guess that makes Bama's loss to A&M a horrible loss?
Get real, LSU nearly lost to Auburn and Ole Miss
Edit: Notice how A&M moved up 4&5 spots in the 2 human polls of the BCS after beating #1 Bama
and Stanford moved up 2 spots after beating #1 Oregon.
