Mountain West Conference 2nd Best Conference!

It is no secret that the MWC is having a great season so far. In fact, statistics show that they are the second best conference in all of College Football!
It is well documented how unfair and subjective the BCS is.
In a system where voting is not utilized, the MWC fairs very well.
If you take the margin of victory of each team (for example BYU 59-UCLA 0), BYU gets 59 points. Then you pro-rate that according to their opponents win loss pct. So UCLA is 1-2 against D1 or .333. If you multiply that, 1/3 of 59 is 19.647. (this is throwing out all non-D1 teams)
Now if you do this with every team in College Football, you get this top 25:
1- Alabama 49.5
2- Nebraska 38.5
3- Utah 38.42
4- Wisconsin 37.17
5- BYU 34.33
6- Texas 31.5
7- Georgia 27.5
8- USC 21.3
9- Penn St 20.83
10- Kentucky 18.67
11- Minnesota 16.83
12- Missouri 15.5
13- Kansas 14.5
14- TCU 14.25
15- AFA 13.67
16- Arizona 13.5
17- Oregon 13.5
18- Oklahoma 13
19- Vandy 12.83
20- Michigan St 12.58
21- Florida 11.5
22- S. Carolina 11.33
23- Colorado 10.5
24- Tulsa 10.5
25- Ohio St 9.0

If you average the score of every team in each conference the following is Power Rankings for the top 8 conferences:
1-SEC: 10.46
2-MWC: 9.35
3-Big 10: 8.90
4-Big 12: 8.78
5-ACC : -.23
6-PAC10: -.51
7-Big East: -.56
8-C USA: -5.57
