Well, the advanced stats that strip out opponent strength (which was ridiculed as being stupid) also think that 2011 Alabama > 2011 LSU defensively, but either way both were great.
I'm not sure what you are claiming the advanced stats do, but stripping anything of opponent strength exacerbates the problem, it doesn't fix it.
That is, if strength is a boon to LSU, which it is, eliminating it from the consideration makes the problem worse, not better.

They basically give certain stats a weighted average.
Hold Oregon to 2 YPP is worth more than holding Western Carolina to 2 YPP using formulas and such.
