In this model,
For each team
Rerank teams without current team
For each match
Add opponents ranks to current team's difficulty of schedule
Subtract alliance ranks from current team's difficulty of schedule
Rank team's difficulty of schedule in ascending order.

Yes, this is correct. However it's still important to realize that this approach has numerous shortcomings.
As an extreme, place the #1, 2, and 3 teams against #97, 98, 99.
The #1, 2, 3 teams would each get a huge boost to their result, making it seem like an easier schedule, whereas #97, 98, and 99 seem to have very hard schedules. But this is only for 1 match, and this 1 match will have a disproportional impact on the final ranking (it might account for well over half the "points", while it only accounts for 1/12 of the final seeding).
