If Team A has a better record and a tougher schedule than Team B, and Team A gets the nod, Team B didn't get shafted.

If Team A has the same record and a tougher schedule than Team B, and Team A gets the nod, Team B didn't get shafted.

Those two facts alone kill this thread.

+1. I can't think of single instance where a team left out had a tougher schedule and same record as the teams that made it. That includes Auburn, although I admit they couldn't do better than go undefeated.

By you saying this you already disqualified yourself with knowledge of the BCS. The first few BCS formulas wasn't just SOS rank but ,quality wins,AP/Coaches poll,8 CPUs, & loss (+1 to BCS score). The modern BCS formula even takes less account of SOS, with the Coaches & Harris poll. Have you seen who's on the Harris poll, do you really think they could tell you who had a better schedule? Have you seen how the coaches vote, do you really think it's consistent with schedule difficulty?
