You're looking at it too simplistically. If Team A beats it's 6-6 opponent by 14 while Team B beats it's 9-3 opponent by 10, which is more impressive? They both won, but obviously everyone would be more impressed with Team B. Likewise if Team A loses a single game by 3 to a top 10 caliber team while having a top 25 schedule, while Team B goes undefeated against a schedule ranked 70th in the country, which is more impressive? It can't be as simple as just winning because to me then you encourage crap like Power 5 schools scheduling nothing but creampuffs to get in the dance. Look at Texas A&M this year. They have 8 home games, don't leave the state of Texas for 9 of 12 games, and have Ball State, Nevada, and Western Carolina OOC. If they go undefeated while a team with a much tougher schedule has 1-loss, why should they automatically get in? That's the kind of crap you encourage when you don't penalize teams for playing nobody and trying to schedule their way into the playoff.
When it came to FSU, you guys trailed in something like 9 of 12 games, which should not be happening to one of the 4 best teams in the country objectively speaking. And IIRC only two of FSU's opponents finished the year ranked. By comparison I believe TCU only trailed in 2 games all year.
