First and foremost this is an experimental and fun piece that was written to try and compare teams from all over the country that play in different leagues. I wrote an article about two years ago using a similar methodology, you can see the results here.
So now that the teams are set let's look at the what statistical measures we are going to use. Traditional fantasy sports uses counting numbers like runs, homeruns and stolen bases as well as percentages like batting average and earned run average but there are weaknesses in those stats. Counting stats (RBI, HR, runs scored) aren't very informative because they're highly context dependent and don't account for how many outs a player is using up. Stats like batting average aren't really useful unless viewed in tandem with OBP, SLG and plate appearances. Now there are many new and wonderful stats that individuals have come up with that measure hitting and pitching in a much more exact manner but unfortunately collegiate stats are very hard to come by. For this exercise we will use the following offensive stats.
RSco% - measures how effective a team is at plating base runners in a formula that I have simplified. Take all of the runners on base that scored and divide that by the total runners on base. While I dislike the use of clutch because it is so difficult to define this comes close to how a team is at being clutch with runners on base. Statistically it looks like (R - HR)/(H + BB + HBP - HR)
OPS - (OBP + SLG) - OBP is how often a player reached base via hit, walk or hit by pitch; among traditional offensive statistics, it's the most important. SLG measures a player's power, albeit not perfectly. So while not the greatest statistic it does a good job with limited information and does have a stronger correlation to scoring runs than any other stat alone.
R/G - Runs per Game, given the teams that are included in the elite conferences and their similar level of competition I feel confident that using this stats gives you a good idea of how proficient an offense. This is especially important in the last two years as the new bats have allowed better offense teams to continue to be high run scoring teams. The one flaw with this is that it doesn't take into consider the ballpark that a team plays in.
WHIP - Walks plus hits allowed per inning pitched more directly measures a pitcher's effectiveness against the batters faced.
K/9 - The average of how many batters a pitcher strikes out per 9 innings pitched, which is a perfectly suitable way to evaluate a player's ability to strike batters out. Keeping batters from putting the ball in play is a very effective way to keeping runners from getting on base however this stat doesn't take into account how many walks a pitcher allows.
K:BB - Since K/9 doesn't take into account walks we will use strikeout to walk ratio. The sign of a good pitching staff is their ability to keep the ball from being put into play and keeping runners of base especially via the walk. Another useful stat but like any stat it does have limitations, if a staff has two groundball pitchers that eats up a lot of innings their effectiveness will not be reflected in their strikeout to walk ratio..
Lastly we must assign a score to each team depending on where they rank amongst their competitors. I took the stats as of May 25th, 2014 and ranked them from best to worst in each category and then assigned a ranking. The higher the number the higher they were ranked. Each ranking in each category was then added up giving a team a total rotisserie score, which is how they are shown below and sorted from different aspects. I recognize that there are flaws in this, the difference in a half a strikeout over the course of a game is not that significant but in the scoring system it the different in roughly ten points which can slide you in an out of a quartile.

This isn't the entire list, only the top quartile teams are shown and you will notice that the top six teams are beneficiaries of relatively soft schedules. No one doubts the talent and ability of a team like LSU but questions arise when a team like Bryant or Cal Poly is at the top of the list when their strength of schedule is not only the worst in the field but in the bottom third of the entire country.
Of the 16 teams, half of them have a strength of schedule worse than 100 and only two have an RPI higher than 43. Only 5 of the teams are from what is considered to be a power conference and if you break them down by seed you have 10 number ones, 2 number twos, 2 number threes and 2 number fours.

As expected the top 25 RPI teams made the tournament and they are ranked here, again the top teams are the ones that play a softer schedule. That doesn't mean they can't do some damage and make a run in the postseason like we have seen from a Stony Brook or a Kent State but I would bet on the teams from power conferences that play good teams on a more consistent basis. Eighteen teams are from the ACC, SEC, Big12 or Pac 12 and if broken down by seed you have all 16 number ones, 8 number twos, 1 number three and zero number fours.
