You're wrong, schools have a target SAT/ACT score and GPA that a potential student must reach. For the better schools that will be higher and for worse lower. If you don't reach that target score and GPA you will be automatically rejected (of course there are some exceptions like if you have connections).The Universities Academics have zero to do with who gets in. Zero. Its about supply and demand. Nothing else. More kids want to go to Alabama than Miami. Their supply has a larger demand. Georgia and Florida have avg academics and some of the hardest schools to get into in the southeast.
That target score can be slightly lowered or raised depending on the supply and demand, but the difference is usually negligible. While the demand for a public school is much higher than Miami the supply is also much higher.
