because resumes will never be the same year to year. The criteria that differentiates certain teams will vary. People take sound bites (not the exhaustive analysis which we do not have) and run with it to justify whatever slight they can find.

This year VT let the door open to be excluded due to the lack of quality wins. Perhaps it won’t matter for inclusion. Depends on who it is being compare against.
