I don't assume anything because the committee says so and I don't agree with everything the committee does. I just have no problem with them putting UT, AL, MI, and UW ahead of FSU this year. As to Kansas and TN, it's not just the CFP, but also AP and coaches put TN ahead.
TN Losses (all ranked teams at the time played):
Fla.
Al.
Mo.
Ga
KS Losses:
UT
OSU
Texas Tech (unranked)
K.State
KS beat OU - that was impressive, but losing to Texas Tech hurt
TN didn't have any win as impressive, but it didn't have any crappy losses either
