I mean I dont ever recall the 9th ranked team at seasons end clamoring that they were robbed of a chance to play for the NC...but I can certainly recall teams as low as 5 and 6 all having very strong arguments and most assuredly teams ranked 3 and 4 having absolutely valid arguments. None moreso than Auburn/Boise and Utah in 04. (And just as a side note the team i cheer for benefitted from that at the time because they started the year ranked higher therefore got to play for the NC)
Obviously there is no perfect system, but again no one can tell me the current one is the best one available...because it isnt and has been proven as much.

Why would a 9th place team complain in a 2-team playoff system. But if it were an 8 team-playoff system and they were 9th, you better believe they will complain! The teams just on the outside of anything will always complain.
