It skews everything.
It's equally ridiculous for the NCAA to include those games when calculating statistics. FSU, for example, on paper had a "better" offense than ND last season. With that being said, they gained 1055 yards of offense against the two powerhouses Western Carolina and Chattanooga. That's out of 4834 for the season. So while they're listed as averaging 371.85 of Total Offense, agianst DI teams it was 343.54.
It's a joke.
