but right now that's a better win then we expected.

I agree.

Now, the loss certainly sucks, especially considering how we played, but I wouldn't categorize losing to a top five team on the road as a bad loss.

You nailed it in your own sentence. It's how we played, not the fact that we lost to a top five team. That, as pointed out in by the OP, is one of the reasons for concern and skepticism.

Just noting that expectations of how a team is and how they actually are changes a perspective about the "value" of a win or loss.

So, the question is, what is this team actually? And is there no reason why you can't see why some people are confused about who/what this team is?
