This is crazy. You're proving my points for me now...

1. Alabama scheduled garbage OOC, and were rewarded because of their conference's rep (Both Alabama and the SEC west were exposed in the postseason)
2. Of those teams, FSU's OOC schedule looked the most playoff ready
3. Unlike the polls - this stuff is digested and picked apart... Think NCAA tournament and the braketology subculture that has grown from looking at the committee and how it makes its choices. This means the process will be held more accountable to facts and play on the field - not less. And certainly not allow something as arbitrary as polls affect it.
4. The gap between p5 and non is going to widen as resources are even more tilted in that direction. Non p5 schools will be worth even less and p5 wins will be worth more.

Other tools? Advanced metrics, stats, whatever secret sauce they are using for SoS, etc.

Why do you insist on putting so much weight on a faulty and inherently dirty system as preseason poll? You can't lean on history - as we are only one year into the playoff system. How can you see a future where the polls are just as important as they were when they were actually factored in during the BCS era?!
