No one wants it ignored entirely. it was on the road to what was eventually the #2 in the country. the Georgia away loss, given their SOS, would probably be lower. the final SOS, their final FPI, and location of the team you lose to should matter.
Let's take Miami, they lost to UL at home and SMU on the road. Texas had 3 losses, all on the road to SOS/FPI - (28/2), (18/6), (2/36)
UL - (53/29) home
SMU - (66/24) away
Miami had one top 10 win, ND at home
Texas had 2 top 10, one neutral and one home to 2 teams that were better than ND(based on final ranking).
that said Miami's FPI is 7, Texas is 13. Miami's SOS is 45 and Texas is 7.
If computers rank Miami over Texas then the only thing I can gather is that the number in the loss column is weighted very very heavily and there is little weight to wins, and more importantly very good wins.
The computers aren't the full answer but the committee actively ignores them pretty much across the board for eye test/loss column and that is how you get stupid explanations about how Bama's escape at 5-6 Auburn was so gosh darn awesome.
