If the Big Ten and SEC get most or all of the at-large bids, there will be plenty of complaining. But it won't be the committee's fault.

SMU’s slim chance of making the 12-team field as a second ACC team pretty much evaporated when the previously undefeated Hurricanes lost to unranked Georgia Tech, dropping Miami from fourth to ninth in the committee’s second round of rankings.
