What Makes a Bad Loss?

Opponent Strength

Losses to lower-ranked opponents hurt more. Losing to a team ranked #100+ is far more damaging than losing to a top 10 team.

Location Modifier

Home losses are penalized more heavily than road losses. Losing at home to a weak opponent is one of the worst outcomes.

Margin of Defeat

Getting blown out increases the penalty. A 40-point home loss to a bad team is catastrophic for rankings.
