[QUOTE="Endless Purple, post: 3220794, member: 778"] Margin of victory is a stupid argument or metric as a general rule. It is only applicable if you dig into the specifics. 1) Type of offense makes a difference. Someone with a fast paced offense has potential to score significantly more points over weaker competition than a time control ground game offense. Thus changing the overall averages. 2) Defensive style can also make a difference. Some are more shut down completely and others are a bend don't break attitude which can also have an impact. What re the head coaches goals. 3) Opponents. A few no defense opponents can skew the average a great deal by simply having two 50 point margins. 4) coach philosophy. Some believe in running up the score and others quickly pull starters. 5) how specific teams match up to their opponents strengths and weaknesses. That is just a few. Take all that into consideration, then compare margin of victory, and it might have good value. That said. This year really is not a good one to claim bias against TCU at this point. So far, it sounds reasonable in the rankings. Of course, the final week is the only one that matters and they have shown the committee can completely screw it up in one week. [/QUOTE]
