Let's look at the non-conference schedules. For OSU, it was Washington, San Diego State, North Carolina State, and Bowling Green. For USC, it was Auburn, Hawaii, BYU, and Notre Dame. They're fairly comparable. OSU is soooo lucky too that Bowling Green is ranked this year.

SOS is a compenent assigned on an
overall basis. Putting together USC's opponents, USC has the weakest schedule in the BCS top-thirteen other than TCU and LSU. I'm not complaining about USC playing Arizona, I'm pointing out that USC has played a
season full of Arizonas.
If Michigan beats Ohio State, I'll argue for USC to play in the big game instead of LSU for the same reason.
I just don't like it when Kansas State plays noone yet is rewarded year after year. If you look at KSU in the polls, they are a top twenty team. But they have lost three and have played noone. I don't like rewarding teams that schedule weakly over those who have played tougher opponents. I'd never rank KSU above other three loss programs like Iowa, etc.
