I would say the much larger volume of players and much higher quality of players produced by the CHL is what makes it the better league.

The whole "lots of other variables" argument doesn't hold water. Give a good pool of examples those types of variables statistically wash out.
As for one year to the next, it's easy enough to compare development curves of NCAA to CHL players vs. pure CHL players.
If the NCAA is second rate, it should be document-able given that players have switched over the years.
