Their schedule was about comparable to Alabama. I think Alabama's was a little more top heavy and Notre Dame's was a little more consistent (i.e., Alabama probably played 3 teams that were better than anyone on ND's schedule, but Alabama also played more awful teams than ND did). Result is about even strength of schedule and ND did not lose.

I don't really see what your point is. ND deserves to be number 1 because they are undefeated and everyone else lost. I don't think this shows any poll bias whatsoever. Any major conference team in their situation would have ended up in the same spot - #1.

Or maybe it just shows how worthless preseason polls are in the first place?
