It is interesting that they write
If they had indicated, say, "just 16.50 points ahead of the anticipated score for second place Florida.", the sentence would have been more accurate. In 1983-1984, Stanford finished within 20 points of North Carolina (806.5-786.5), which is closer than the 41.50 points difference mentioned. Indeed, that year, the top 4 teams were within 40 points. (I presume the scoring has changed since the winning totals were much less.)
Also, while the SEC got 3 in the top 10 to the PAC-12's two, more than half (7) of the PAC-12 are in the top 20. The PAC-12 is clearly the leading conference.
