The committee intentionally made the rankings confusing

Do I actually think the committee did a good job? No, they fucked a lot of shit up. But I appreciate the committee fucking shit up that will most likely get decided on the field so that we have something to talk about on a Tuesday night.

Subjective judgment about the entertainment value and process of the rankings.

Alabama at No. 5 is absolutely insane

At five, five is absolutely fucking insane that they put them at five. I think you're right. I think they did it just to get people pissed off. Get people talking.

The fairness of the ranking is debatable, so this is a subjective evaluation.

Notre Dame at No. 11 was the correct ranking

The only thing that they did correctly was the mistake they made last year. They fixed it. Notre Dame at 11 was correct.

This is an evaluative opinion about the proper ranking, not a claim with one objectively correct answer.

The Brewers win with a college-style approach

He loves those kind of players. I would say just having been a college guy myself, we definitely play a more collegey type style than other teams. He loves his college guys, not even guys that went to college, but that play that way of getting bunts down, base running, defense all comes before stats and everything.

This is a characterization of the Brewers' style and is inherently interpretive.

The Brewers' backside approach is the key to their offense

Murph literally says you can't play on our team unless you can hit a backside ground ball on command, especially with two strikes. And to do that, you have to see the ball so deep.

This is a description of team philosophy, not a prediction or objectively adjudicable claim.
