I'd have to strongly disagree. OPR and CCWM is certainly better some years compared to others, that I won't argue. After watching Central Illinois, I'm guessing you are dissapointed at the numbers you saw at the event or the rating your team has right now. A lot of Central Illinois teams saw rather low OPR/CCWM values, because defense was brutal there. I'm sure you can attest to that. If you are trying to compare teams from CI to other events, you are going to be disappointed.

Why not take a look at the database here.
I think you'd be surprised at how well of a job it's doing as a whole, I certainly am. Take a look at some of the other events.

If you still disagree, I understand and respect your opinion. That being said, I'd love to see any other quantitative metrics you are using to rank and evaluate teams, I'm rather obsessed with these kinds of things.
