And, I think, if they beat you twice, you'd figure 17-8 twice, not 16-8.
It would actually be 16-8. For purposes of calculating team A's OWP, all games involving team A would be discounted.
One thing to note in calculating OOWP is if we have team A, B, and C as in our prior example, although team B's games vs. team C are discounted, if team A IS team C, team A otherwise still counts as an opponent in the OOWP calculation.
So whenever you play a game, your own record gets factored into OOWP. When you play two games against conference opponents on your side of the division, it gets factored in four times. Play a conference opponent on your side of the division in the CT, it gets factored in 9 times, and so on.
