I've done this the past two years; might as well continue.
Here are the rankings I've come up with. For every team a team beats, it gets 1 point for each defeated team's victories (adjustments for wins over FCS schools); for every team it loses to, deduct one point for each victorious team's losses (again, adjustments for losses to FCS schools). Divide by the number of games played. The results:
1. Alabama 6.29
2. Ohio State 5.79
3. Clemson 5.50
4. Western Michigan 4.54
5. Michigan 4.21
6. Washington 4.13
7. Penn State 4.04
8. Colorado 3.83
9. Florida State 3.75
10. Navy 3.73
To really make this work, I need to go another iteration, but I'd have to figure this for all FBS teams, and that would take either a computer or time even this $9/hour worker doesn't have.
I'd love to see them play Alabama and have it 73-0 at the half.
Must be pretty fair only Western Michigan looks odd, although Penn State was really fortunate to beat Ohio State, blocking a punt and then blocking a stupid field goal attempt and returning it for a TD. Now they must feel they are a team of destiny, a joke. Navy the last two or three years is proving to be better than people give them credit for with that precision offense, that would attract no one who wants to be a pro.
