“comparable teams”: Where the CFP Committee stated rationale falls apart

Attached is an illustration of the criteria supposedly used by the CFP Committee to select Bama over Fl State (markups courtesy of a poster thinking he was using it as a gotcha to me).
Important in looking at this, however, are two things of note.
One: None of the criteria includes looking at straight up W-L records. That would seem weird, right? Well, maybe not when you look at two.
Two: Per these bylaws, the committee is only supposed to take into account this sort of criteria when making choices between “comparable teams.”
So, what was the criteria the committee used to determine Bama and Fla State were “comparable teams”? It’s gotta be something MORE than W-L records, but it can’t be any of the criteria they get to look at to distinguish such teams (which would be completely illogical to include such a qualifier - “comparable teams).
So, what determined they were?

One is Bama. The other is not.
I loathe the Crimson Tide, but I will say this. The Tide are a TV draw.
Just as many people tune in to see if they will lose as will tune in hoping to see them win.
I promise you that is the unstated rationale behind putting the inbreds in over the Noles.

That’s fine. Don’t try to tell us you are following your stated “objective” criteria, then. They didn’t.

I am not sure I believe more people will necessarily tune in to watch Alabama compared to Florida State.

Yeah i think the opposite is actually true. I think a lot of america has SEC fatigue, and a year without us in the playoffs may have boosted net interest in CFB.

They aren’t comparable, FSU is closer to #10 without JT

But you don’t look at that criteria until determining they are.

Why are so many fixated on just Bama vs FSU. Texas got over them too.
