10. my take on this

is that the committee legitimately thought there were 4 better teams. And I completely understand FSU feeling like they got hosed - but at the end of the day, were they going to beat Michigan or Bama - neutral field, on the day the selection was made? I don't know the answer to that (and neither does anyone else) - but that is the decision the committee is charged with making. And won/loss record is only part of that determination.

Sorry, Canes. It might blow - but I don't necessarily think it was a big 'fix' or conspiracy.
NCAA has its problems (and its history) - but in this case ... Chances are you just weren't the best team at the end of the season.

Edit: and as several have pointed out - they did get a nice bowl bid. Just not the bowl playoffs.
