Opponents' Record:
Oklahoma 88-80
LSU 76-77
USC 75-77
The problem with the whole strength of schedule piece of the formula is that it assumes everything is equal.
In your formula, if team A beats an SEC school that finishes 11-1, and team B beats a Sun Belt school that finishes 11-1, there is no difference.
In addition, once you get past a certain point, does it really matter?...ie when you look at the weaker portion of a team's schedule. For instance, should team A's victory over a 1-11 team really vault them over team B who beat a 2-10 squad?
