That “transitive defeat” thing is interesting — and yes, I know the BCS computers use it too — but you can only take it so far, because so much depends on what team shows up on game day.
For only one of many examples: how could Texas pound Colorado by a lopsided score... and then Colorado play Nebraska tough and score a ton of points... and then Texas barely squeak out a one point win over Nebraska, with a total score of 25 points. The transitive stuff doesn’t explain games like that so well.
