I don't care whether the guy was honest with himself or not, it's a foolish rationale on which to rank teams in the preseason, in my opinion.
Imagine if a lot of the pollees thought this way and Louisville was preseason #2 behind USC. Imagine further that USC, Louisville, and Ohio State all go undefeated. Should Louisville get the nod for the championship game over Ohio State, precisely because Louisville had the easier schedule (and yeah, I know the AP is no longer part of the BCS, but you could apply this thinking to any poll).
Teams that play weak schedules get rewarded enough for that during the season. This guy's thinking gives them even more reward for weak schedules before the season even starts.
