This directly from CFP Selection Committee Protocol:

The committee will select the teams using a process that distinguishes among otherwise comparable teams by considering:

>>>>>>> Strength of schedule

Head-to-head competition,
Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory), and,
Other relevant factors such as unavailability of key players and coaches that may have affected a team’s performance during the season or likely will affect its postseason performance.
