Controversy

 * Ohio State fans were livid that the Buckeyes did not get in. Even though Ohio State was just 13-20, their fans think they are the best team in the nation.


 * Fans of USC and Washington of the Pac-12 are disappointed that neither team was taken. They both had above average seasons, but the selection committee decided to put Bryant and Stratton (who had a worse record and finished in fourth in the Little Ten).  USC fans claim this is because of Bryant and Stratton's history of being a WBB powerhouse and their 2005 title, rather than just looking at this season.
