I'm not an advanced stat geek. Just win, baby. But on college football reference, they have this stat SRS, I'm not going to try to explain it but look for yourself

Interesting to me that, here in the purported golden age of NU football, only one of Fitz's teams showed up in the top 30 of NU history, a couple more between 30 and 40. I think his teams are skewed by uninteresting point differentials - we occasionally get clobbered in good years but rarely return the favor.
Also interesting to see a Francis Peay team and even a Pont team ahead of a Barnett team
