Help Me Seed My 8 Team Playoff

There are 9 teams that have the record and resume to be in this playoff.

Here is my current estimation of where I would have them ranked right now, but I want your guys Input before I go through with it.

Team 1.
12-0 Record
3 top 10 wins over Team 6, 8, and 9... 5 top 25 wins. Clearly the top team.

Team 2.
12-0 Record
1 top 10 win over Team 4... 3 top 25 wins.

Team 3.
11-1 Record
Lost to #11 team, has two top 25 wins. Good resume gives them the nod above Team 4.

Team 4.
11-1 Record
Only loss is a very close game to Team 2. No top 25 wins. But beat some teams on the cusp of the top 25. Resume not quite as good as Team 3, but some impressive wins over winning record opponents. Team 4 given the nod over Team 5 because opponents were better overall.

Team 5.
12-0 Record
Resume is comparable to Team 4. No top 25 wins, a handful of winning record wins. Overall, definitely a playoff team, but ranked below Team 4 and 5 because schedule not as strong.

Team 6.
10-2 Record
Two losses were to Team 1, and another top 25 team. They beat Team 8 and 9... Total of 4 Top 25 wins.

Team 7.
10-2 Record
Team 7, 8, and 9 are razor thin in my eyes.
Team 7 lost 2 games to un ranked opponents, but has 4 top 25 wins.

Team 8.
10-2 Record
Team 8 and 9 have essentially the exact same resume barring minor differences.
Team 8 lost to Team 1 and Team 6 (both close losses). They have two top 25 wins.

Team 9.
10-2 Record
Only losses were to Team 1 and Team 6, just like Team 8. Only difference is Team 9 got destroyed by Team 1 by 40 points. Team 9 also has 2 top 25 wins, but they have more winning record wins than Team 8. So from one standpoint Team 8 has the better losses because they were close games but you could argue Team 9 has a better schedule with more winning record wins.

Basically in my eyes Team 1-6 are in. But Teams 7, 8, and 9 is a discussion... Team 7 has more top 25 wins with 4... But Team 7 also has 2 un ranked losses... Teams 8 and 9 basically have the exact same resume with 2 great losses but only 2 top 25 wins each.

So do I leave out Team 8 or 9? When they basically have the same resume? That wouldn’t be fair to one of them? Or do I say to Team 7 there 4 top 25 wins aren’t enough to overcome there 2 bad losses?
