Miami barely squeaked thru a very weak schedule. Ole Miss also had inflated stats vs a very weak schedule. Plus they lost to a bad Kentucky team and an average Florida team. Bama had a better schedule than Ole Miss (played 4 teams ranked at time of game) but lost to two 6-6 teams. USC played 7 teams ranked at the time of game and only losses were to top teams. Worst loss was to 8-4 LSU. The committee just picks and chooses what they want in order to have their favorite teams in. Strength of schedule sometime matters, unless the head to head results matter more, until it becomes about bad losses or may quality wins, could also be win streaks or number of points scored. Anything is possible.
