Dominance Ranking is the ranking of teams by the sum of their combined national ranks in scoring offense and scoring defense. I find it a useful way to measure teams against each other by on-field performance, and not media hype. It appears Western Michigan is going to be this year's MAC Interloper. They're saltier than advertized.
