Is there such a thing or are all losses the same?
There is a difference in a lose to an unranked team versus a ranked team, yes. Especially if that team is a top 10 team.
Unfortunately there is a difference in when it happens.
What if you have a situation where a quality loss was due to unanswered points?..

So the ranking of the opponent is your only criteria for judging this “quality loss”?

I know where you’re going with this, but I don’t care.
Clemson’s loss to Syracuse is not a quality loss.
Georgia’s loss to Auburn is a quality loss.
Discuss…or don’t.

I agree to a point. Lets throw in another factor. Is a close non-quality loss better than a quality butt stomping?
If NC State is ranked 19 and USC is not ranked, is it because of the quality losses or quality wins?

I think NC STATE is both. They lost to USC the first game of the year…close. Then beat UL and FSU when they were ranked. then lost to Clemson and ND. 2 top 10 teams. And playing Clemson to the wire.
Hard to knock them for those loses

Fair enough. So NC State is better than the Gamecocks because of that?

I think so. Who has USC beat thats worth anything. USC got NC State first game…anything can happen.
Don’t worry; Clemson is safe. The fact that the QB was injured in that loss actually helps a lot. Clemson will be in the final four as long as Miami spent all their magic against the Irish.

I’m not so sure 23. Not sure Clemson would win that game today. We’ll see on game day.
I’m just happy that Tater fans are only concerned with having to beat Miami to stay in the hunt. Keep thinking that.
After being released, a lot of fish die, but a lot of them live also.

Actually the only one who implied that is a gamecock fan.

Care to share a link, cause nobody here has said that.
You do realize that there is still a chance to have a whole mess of two loss teams stacked at the top of the rankings, right? Alabama is about the only one that would be safe at no less than 1 loss.
Personally I don’t think there is a clear top #1 team in the bunch. I think they all have issues and could easily lose on any given day. I think the top 10 is still up for grabs, these recent rankings don’t mean crap, and a “quality loss” does not enter the conversation yet because there are plenty of other factors to determine the top 10 to this point.

LOL!!!
God bless the “ignore” function.
So we got Fritz calling 23 a Clemson fan and a Gamecock admitting that NC State is better even though the Cocks beat them. Classic.
