All of that stuff is true (statistically), but it further points out that the stats should be a starting point for the evaluation, not to mention what the limitations are on the stats themselves.
For instance, why should losing "by 32" be any worse than losing "by 16"? Maybe break losses down into "close games" (9 or fewer points) and "bad losses" (10 or more points) without piling on (statistically). Both of those games were at a tournament, and both of those games involved COVID "injuries". Now I know, I know, people will say that "injuries are a part of the game", and they are when you lose a player for an extended period of time. But the COVID situation has created scenarios in which a team on one night is fundamentally different than the same team on a different night and for no actual basketball reason, such as an injury.
Anyhow, I get the point that we had two double-digit losses at a neutral site tourney (though the worst loss was to a RANKED TEAM), but we also have 18 wins, one of which was on the road against a RANKED TEAM. We cannot control the fact that Duke has been the only consistently-ranked team in the ACC. ****, some other ACC teams might be ranked right now IF MIAMI HADN'T BEATEN THEM. At the end of the day, we have 18 wins, and I don't really care if all 18 were by 1 point each. We beat the teams. And they are not bad teams. Maybe the ACC isn't as stacked as in prior years, but we are beating quality teams on the regular.
Look, if the voters had ranked us when we beat Duke, and then dropped us down when we lost to F$U twice, maybe I would be more forgiving. But our remaining 6 games are against teams with worse conference records than us. We are tied for 3rd in the ACC and we don't have any games left against Duke, Notre Dame, or North Carolina (and we beat two of those three). We can never erase the Alabama and Dayton games, and we don't have any opportunities in the next 6 games to change minds either.
Ultimately, it's all some sort of bizarre joke. If you weren't expected to do well, then you do well, who "above you" can you beat to prove your own legitimacy? I also have a problem with other teams getting slobbered on because "oh, look at the talent they added in the portal", yet when Miami brings in some talented transfers and wins 18-24 regular season games (even if our margin of victory is single digits 18-24 times), we are just "slightly above average expectations".
Watch the games. Nearly every one of our 18 wins involved Miami absorbing the other team's best shot in the first half, followed by halftime adjustments and superior performance in the second half.
