Agreed that Bama wasn't going to be left out. But, it was regardless of how the ACC played our anything else, really, at that point. They had them in the second the SEC Championship game was over, if not before. How many time did we hear "Bama has the greatest 8 game win streak of all time" leading up to the selection? Who could possibly leave out a team with such a "historic streak"?

If UVa had just beat Duke, we would have both UVa and Miami in and ND out.
