I disagree with this line of thinking. Imagine if Oregon scheduled a creampuff out-of-conference (not playing Boise or Utah) and went undefeated. They'd still very likely finish third to Texas and Alabama, and then Oregon fans would be complaining that a stronger out-of-conference schedule could have put them into the BCS game.
