Apologies, for picking apart this questions but I think the system does consider most of those things.

1.   You state it bothers you when people say only Quad one and Quad Two games matter... but then you say the system should give more credit for games against better opponents -- which is exactly what the quad system does -- it is the entire purpose of classifying Quad1A, Quad 1, and Quad 2 games.

2.   You state the system should give more credit for road games... Which it actually does -- a Q1 win at home is against a top 35 team, a Q1 win on the road is against a top 75 team.   Further # of road wins is also a separate important metric that is looked at by the committee.    In essence road wins are even more valued because Q1 and Q2 metrics is stretched for them, plus you also get credit in the road win metric column.

3.   You want the system to give more credit for total wins.   A system that gives more consideration to quality wins, more weight to total wins and more weight to close losses?...  that's really confusing as they to some degree run counter to each other.

4.   You want the system to value close losses.  It does but only to a limited degree.   Inherently NET does consider margin as one of its factors in its calculation, so the process does capture it to a limited degree since standalone NET is one of the metrics considered.

That being said, Wins and losses (and against who and where) should ultimately be the most important factors no matter the score and that is the way the system generally works with some holes of course.
