What if...
college football teams were rated like chess players?
When chess players play a game, their ratings change by an amount based on the expected result given the strength of their opponent. A strong player defeating a weak one will cause a small rating change, while a weak player defeating a strong opponent will cause a bigger change.
One such system is called Elo, and has been used for many different types of games.
