Yes they did. And that's one criterion they can use amongst many. It's generally used for tiebreakers.
I also think they'll consider Alabama the better team right now, without the need for a tiebreaker. I also think they'll use FSU on purpose to create separation so they can avoid the tie-breaker discussion.
Edit: Can we leave downvoting for disagreeing on the other site? If you don't like conversation, what are you even doing here?
I'm with you there. Disappointing to see them being used by some folks for disagreement. (FWIW, I do think you have a bad take in this argument, but it doesn't merit downvotes)
And it looks like I was wrong. But I was definitely not expecting Texas to jump FSU. That actually shocks me a bit.
Just for the record, I did think they were going to find some way to put Alabama in and justify it. But I was not expecting it like this.
