The part where anyone has anything negative to say about LSU's scheduling, especially OOC. LSU does, after all, not only play one of the toughest OOC schedules anywhere. But they also win them all.
I didn't question LSU's OOC. I responded to a poster that wanted to play the east teams more often. I gave two solutions.

LSU votes against nine game schedule and schedules Townson type teams instead of USCe and UG.
...looks like you did.

A tougher schedule should be an advantage in the context of a playoff, especially since the SEC is staying at 8 conference games. You want those 8 games to boost your SOS. I want Bama to have a very tough schedule every year. If UT continues to suck (and I don't think they will) that will come back to bite Bama eventually when we miss out on a playoff spot due to SOS.
I think SOS will be the #1 criteria for the selection committee
That would be a perfect world. Where you get rewarded for beating a great team, penalized for losing to a great team, and heavily downgraded when losing to a bad team.
SOS hasn't been a factor in college football (inside the BCS conferences) that I'm aware of. If it had been Bama definitely wouldn't have had a rematch in 2011 (and just so I'm not perceived as being biased - LSU may have not gotten a shot in 2007).
And if you were actually rewarded for strength of schedule and not just penalized should you lose a game, then no one would ever complain about it. Well except bama fans because they'd be continually left out of the playoffs due to weak SOS.

Again, I wasn't questioning the strength of OOC. If that is your impression, that was not my intention.

Just saying that the part about "Townson type teams" gives that impression.
