What happens if you eliminate FCS teams from the opponents' averages?

I don't know. I haven't done that. I usually pull my stats from http://stats.ncaa.org/rankings/change_sport_year_div and they don't make that distinction. I'd have to rework my spreadsheet to calculate the numbers differently. I don't currently track each team by each game's box score. I take their totals, subtract the BYU game and divide by their games minus one.



If you think it'd be a good change to make, I could look at making comparison to BYU vs raw averages, BYU vs averages - BYU and BYU vs averages - BYU - FCS.

I'm just guessing that Utah's shutout of SUU is masking some offensive issues.

It definitely is. It'll be interesting to see how these numbers look with more games involved. Of course, Arizona got lit up in the passing game by an FCS team. So how do you differentiate when to discount FCS games and when to keep them?
