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.
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.

So it isn't stripping strength, it is trying to account for it. Let's just say if you don't know what they do and how they do it (weighted by some way using some formula), we probably shouldn't be relying on it as a metric.
