I like the way you put that and it makes good sense on the surface. But it may not be quite that cut and dried.
So, I would add to it that both PSU and Ohio state faced similar competition as far as SOS. However, FSU's competition quality as compared to Alabama's was more than just 'somewhat' disparate. Florida State had the 55th hardest schedule in FBS this season, Alabama's was 5th hardest. And Florida State's opponents over all combined records are abysmal, maybe like .500 or something. Smelly. And Florida State is without their starting QB. You also feel that Georgia is going to beat Fla St "bigly". So why would they be placed in the CFP to get manhandled the same way as some of the OSU teams have or ND did against Bama some years back? Now, if FSU beats Georgia I'll be all wet and will have admit it.
Whether that changes the material conclusion of your post is up for debate. I would opine that it does and may need modification.
Sidenote: I think I'm on record and have always opined that SOS should be the strongest category of the markers for CPF voting. Otherwise you could have a 12-0 Bowling Green in the CPF.
