I'm not a fan of using scoring margin or margin of victory beyond it serving as a tiebreaker like net points does in the Power Points System. However said, I'm certainly open to rewarding margin of victory or something similar if it leads to college football adopting an objective rules system. That said, to see what if any difference scoring margin might make if it applied to the Power Points System, I added average scoring margin to each team's power points/schedule strength totals and ranked teams accordingly. Below are the results after bowl games with FCS wins and losses treated as equal to the least valuable FBS wins and losses respectively. To the right of each team's name is its official standing (excluding average scoring margin), power points with ASM, power points without ASM, and average scoring margin. Although Alabama finished 2nd in the official standings despite its dominating win over Notre Dame in the BCS title, the power points system's true purpose is to determine playoff qualifiers and seeds and allow postseason results to determine the national champion. Notre Dame finishing first is similar to a team not winning the Super Bowl but still finishing with the best overall record. That said, the average team moved up or down 2.5 places between the two power points standings. Arizona State had biggest jump due to ASM moving from 60th to 50th place while Buffalo had the biggest drop falling from 92nd to 101st place.
