I thought it would be interesting to compare ND and Alabama performance against top opponents. I don't yet have the Alabama/Georgia game data, but currently, this compares:
ND vs Mich, Ok, USV, and Stanford
Alabama vs LSU, Mich, and A&M
I then created a "virtual game", combining the outcomes of these three games into one.
I then compared the performance in these games relative to season averages, to see how strong or week offenses and defenses are relatively speaking.
