Maybe we need to get people to make multiple announcements about this at events, many teams obviously don't understand this based on the gameplay I'm seeing (I'm not just picking on you two).
WINS AND LOSSES DO NOT MATTER FOR RANKING THIS YEAR. They affect how many qualifying points you receive from a match, but after QPs are assigned the system no longer tracks who won and lost the match.
Quote:
9.3.4 Match Seeding Points
All teams on the winning ALLIANCE will receive a number of seeding points equal to the penalized score (the score with any assessed penalties) of the winning ALLIANCE.
All teams on the losing ALLIANCE will receive a number of seeding points equal to un-penalized score (the score without any assessed penalties) of the winning ALLIANCE.
In the case of a tie, all participating teams will receive a number of seeding points equal to their ALLIANCE score (with any assessed penalties).
9.3.5 Coopertition™ Bonus
All teams on the winning ALLIANCE will receive a coopertition bonus: a number of seeding points equal to twice the un-penalized score (the score without any assessed penalties) of the losing ALLIANCE.
In the case of a tie, all participating teams will receive a coopertition bonus of a number of seeding points equal to twice their ALLIANCE score (with any assessed penalties).

The Coopertition Bonus is the important part here. It is added to the Seeding Points earned as described in section 9.3.4 in addition to being recoded separately as a tiebreaker.
You want high scores in this game! If both alliances are scoring high it is much better to win than lose, but a 5-0 loss is better than a 3-0 win!!
