You can read the website if you want a breakdown of how S&P+ calculates their averages. It's been explained in those posts about 1,000 times.
But the easy answer to your question is no.

Might as well not have these rankings if a 6-1 team is number 1 with no quality wins and 1 quality loss.

They get the benefit in this type of ranking system because playing shitty teams makes you offense and defense look better than they really are.

Isn't it supposedly adjusted for that kind of stuff?

He doesn't know. The description of the system was too long so he didn't read.

You post was too long to read when I already knew the answer.
Look at the offensive metrics they use and tell me how teams don't benefit from playing shitty teams. Use your brain for a minute. I know that's hard as a Bama fan, but just try.

The performance is specifically performance adjusted and specifically does not include garbage time stats.
You can argue how the formulas are made and whether too much or too little weight is given to certain areas, but those things are inarguable facts.

I'm not talking about garbage time stats.
I'm talking about the criteria on which offense and defense are based and how when you play bad teams you will be over ranked. Which is directly evidenced by OSU being ranked number one.

Here is a metric for you, Alabama is going to kick 100% of Georgia's arse in Atlanta

Maybe so, maybe not.

Individual stats against bad teams are adjusted for the team they are playing. Averaging 8.8 yards per carry against Florida International is discounted heavily compared to averaging 8.8 yards per carry against Michigan.
