You guys didn't exactly get a break on the 3 permanent opponents either.

Some interesting correlations on that list. Of the teams whose opponents had a losing record, 4 out of 6 made the playoffs at least once in the two years (Texas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Ole Miss).
Correct. If you order those two seasons for all 16 teams from hardest to easiest schedules (again, only including the game outcomes in games not involving that team), you can rank the schedules by SOS 1-32.
The 5 toughest (opponents record shown)
1. South Carolina 2025 (35-21)
2. Oklahoma 2024 (34-22)
3. Miss State 2024 (33-23)
4. Auburn 2025 (32-24)
5. Alabama 2024 (31-24)
None of these teams made the playoff.
The 5 easiest:
28. Texas 2024 (23-33) *made playoff
29. Missouri 2024 (22-34)
30. Tennessee 2024 (22-34) *made playoff
31. Ole Miss 2025 (21-35) *made playoff
32. Texas A&M 2025 (17-39) *made playoff
Four of the five easiest schedules faced resulted in a playoff birth and the other was seen as a historic season for Mizzou. Worth noting that those Tennessee and Texas A&M teams were absolutely embarrassed in the playoff and that Texas team severely underperformed.

One more stat. Only 4 teams faced opponents with a losing record both seasons. Ole Miss, TAMU, Mizzou, and Tennessee. 3 out of those 4 made the playoffs one time, and every one of them made it in the year when they had the easier schedule.
TAM----- 2025 --- 30.4% opp win%
OLE ---- 2025 ----37.5%
TEN -----2024 ----39.3%
TAM----- 2025 --- 30.4% opp win%
OLE ---- 2025 ----37.5%
TEN -----2024 ----39.3%
