Alabama played Mercer, Fresno St, Colorado St and a poor Florida St last year. Washington got crucified for their out of conference schedule last year. So much SEC bias.
Poor Florida State is a bit of a stretch. Yes, the program had a down year last year but that down year came after a top ranking to start the season and then losing their starting QB in that game against Alabama.
I don't love the Louisville game but Bama typically has one big non-conference game a year and then a few patticakes. That's really not that different from anybody else.
Next year is Duke (which is worse than Louisville) but after that it is USC.
Before Florida State it was USC. Before that Wisconsin. Before that West Virginia. Before that Virginia Tech. Before that Michigan. Before that Penn State. Before that Penn State. Before that Virginia State. Before that Clemson.
Next year UW has Eastern Washington, BYU, and Hawaii. Not exactly a powerhouse schedule. UW's out of conference schedule hasn't been anything to write home about.
