And again since you have to schedule a few seasons in advance you have no idea what you will be facing.  You keep just dismissing the poll as if it doesn't matter and say there are millions of tools ... what are they?  Here is a sample of the top 6:

FSU's OOC - Ok St, Citadel, ND and Florida
Bama's OOC - Southern Miss, WVU, Fla Atl and W Carolina
Ohio St's OOC - Navy, Va Tech, Cincy and Kent St
Oregon's OOC - Mich St., Wyoming, South Dakota (they only get 3 which is like scheduling another P5 in OOC)
TCU's OOC - Samford, Minny, SMU (they only get 3 which is like scheduling another P5 in OOC)
Baylor's OOC - SMU, NW St and Buffalo (they only get 3 which is like scheduling another P5 in OOC)

So while FSU had the best OOC they get the 2 seed as an undefeated, OSU loses to a mediocre Va Tech team in OOC and gets in ahead of TCU who beat a ranked Minny (ranked at season's end no less, so much for adjustments) and of course the other undefeated in OOC in Baylor.  Bama finishes with the #1 seed (and WVU was decent enough ... better than anyone OSU played since you like harping on the SEC) but their OOC wasn't nearly as tough as FSUs.  Apparently that OOC practice isn't nearly as important as you thought.  If you don't think polls influence this I don't know what else to tell you.  Each team up there played at least 9 P5 teams during the regular season in the case of FSU it was 11, for TCU and Oregon it was 10 in the regular season.
