Even then a team ranked in the top 5 who knocks off a few good teams is likely to leapfrog you unless your conference schedule boosts you.
I don't get how a playoff will promote these big out of conference matchups, it doesn't make sense to risk a loss that could bump you to 9-3 at the end of the year when going 10-2 gives you a pretty good chance to make the playoffs. If I'm a coach in a playoff system I'm concerned about wins only, strength of schedule doesn't matter if you're among a few 2 loss teams.
