Two of the 3 losses were Einstein Finals, and the third was Q100 in Curie, which they played 6v0 to ensure their #1 seed, by holding their alliance score to 0. Quatchi was undefeated prior to Championships.
If W/L/T is your sole metric, maybe (just maybe) I can agree with you. But you give the perfect example of why that metric doesn't matter in 2010. The 6v0. Not every opponent 1114 faced during qualifications in 2010 even attempted to beat them.
If you factor in their performance relative to their peers, it's not even close. 1114 was heads, shoulder, forearms, and elbows above everyone else in 2008. It had some kinks to work out at the beginning of the season, but even then it was still clearly the best robot on the field. Once they got everything together, it was unstoppable. They would outscore entire elimination alliances with their hybrid mode alone. That robot was easily the most dominant machine of the 3v3 era.
