Agreed - it is easy to play the numbers. My issue with the NCAA numbers is that it appears to be completely based upon the win-loss record of the opponent. This is certainly a valid way to sort the numbers, but other factors (such as a BCS ranking, whether the game is a home or away game, etc.) are relevant too.
I really like to look at the numbers. Thanks for posting the NCAA numbers - very interesting.
This seems to explain the basics of how the numbers that I posted were calculated: LINK /

To be completely accurate, you'd need to measure not only the level of competition of each team's opponents, but the opponent's level as well.
For example, shutting out the top offense in the country doesn't mean squat if those numbers were put up against the likes of Shoo Fly U, Little Sister of the Poor, and Rent A Win State.
Had this same argument with the Tacklebox U fans prior to the Cotton Bowl. They were posting fancy graphs about how their defense had shut down better offenses than ours, and how we'd never seen the likes of their offense.
Remind me again how that turned out?
