You're missing the key variable: elite quarterback talent elevates any system. LSU's Jayden Daniels won the Heisman with a 72% completion rate behind a rebuilt line, proving great QBs transcend circumstances. Indiana's title run required clutch throws in critical moments that no system can manufacture. Your focus on scheme ignores that the OAC's top offenses all feature quarterbacks with top-10 QBRs, not just game managers. Portal chaos is a factor, but LSU's offense ranked 1st in yards per play last year because Daniels made plays outside structure. A distributor alone can't win a shootout in the SEC.
