I also like to look at games as having multiple clues. As a general proposition, does the team show itself capable of scoring and of keeping its opponents from scoring? An 8-1 game win means more to me than a 6-5 win. In the first, both halves of that team's game were clicking, In the other, neither half was; the team just happened to be a bit better than you opponent that day.
So in trying to compare teams. I look at the number of games in which the team scored more than six runs and/or allowed fewer than three.
By that measure, Florida deserves to be number one:
Six-plus runs scored games + minus-three runs allowed games - total number of games:
Florida: 50 - 46
Stanford: 41 - 40
NC State: 38 - 42
Texas Tech: 42 - 46
UCLA: 35 - 40
Arkansas: 36 - 45
N Carolina: 36 - 45
Ole Miss: 35 - 45
Oregon State: 30 - 40
Clemson: 33 - 45
I'd say there's actually a larger gap after Texas Tech because UCLA has played a much weaker schedule than the teams above it, and all but Oregon State behind it. And the Beavers have played a schedule so weak that they may not belong on this top ten list.
