Weaker schedules are only relevant in a discussion of who belongs. When you win the championship game, you've pretty much dispelled any claim that you didn't belong.

If that incorporates the SECCG, I think that's a good ranking. Otherwise, it is pretty bad.
Strength of schedule is one of those odd things to calculate. If you played the number 1, 2, 3, and 4 team in the country in a single season but then played 9 D2 schools a lot of models are going to give you a worse strength of schedule than if you played the number 25 team 14 times.
Playing LSU was tough. Playing TAMU was tough. Playing LSU then TAMU the following weak was tougher. Everyone knows this, but few models do not take this into consideration.
