NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball uses RPI, just like college hockey
(some other sports, including soccer, may also use it).
 
RPI approximates what you want, but HEAL, the rating scheme I have been
posting this year, is exactly what you ask for.  HEAL gives credit for
wins against good teams.  I'll post a final HEAL in a day or so so you
can compare the results to RPI.
