In 2018 to get to playoff they beat 4 ranked teams, including 3 in Top 15, 1 of those Top 10.
#14 Michigan and #15 Syracuse were the only 2 ranked teams they beat.
Stanford went 9-4 and did not finish the season ranked
VT went 6-7 and did not finish ranked

Using end of season rankings, which again nobody ever uses when citing Kelly's record against Top 25 teams or Top 10 teams.
Always moving the goalposts. Just saying.
And I'm not picking on you for using end of season rankings, but again what everybody always talks about is playing at the time when it comes to citing Kelly's records in the past, which was 4 in 2018. Then there's always the argument Stanford WOULD have ended the season ranked had ND not beat them, etc. I understand using either method to a degree, but just being consistent on what people actually cite when it comes to his past.
But point is their schedule usually isnt nearly as bad as people make it out to be. No it isnt an SEC slate with 2-3 Top 10 teams every year, but they also avoid playing the creampuffs the SEC plays as well. They dont play rent-a-wins quite like the SEC does OOC, but yes they do avoid playing more top level teams than an SEC team would.
But to any end point here, Kelly came into the SEC in year 1 with a severely gimped LSU team and won the SEC West getting to Atlanta. So kind of a moot point anyways.
