That is not the case....

the at-large teams, which will likely include UCF and Northern Illinois, as well as Bama, Clemson, etc....are all eligible to be picked. The Orange Bowl has the first pick and will take Bama. The Rose, Sugar and Fiesta then take the Pac 12, SEC, and Big 12 champs. The Rose also gets the Big Ten selection since this assumes Ohio St. is in the national championship. Then it goes back to the Orange and they can take any at-large team left. They would pick Clemson, leaving the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls to pick Central Florida and Northern Illinois.
The games that matter this weekend are FSU/Duke and Ohio St./Michigan St. If FSU or Ohio St. lose, then we don't go to the Orange Bowl. If they both win, we will likely go, unless a team like Oregon gets selected ahead of us or we fall out of the top 14.
Northern Illinois is irrelevant...this time.

They are in there at the end......

they could certainly get picked ahead of Clemson. I'm sure the Orange Bowl would be pleased with Bama-Oregon or Bama-Clemson. Especially compared to UCF and Northern Illinois in the Sugar and Fiesta bowls. I do think that the national appeal of a Bama/Oregon matchup may be difficult to pass up. ESPN would like that one a lot. But the city of Miami might prefer Bama/Clemson.

And UCF is an AQ....

but they don't get any special treatment in the selection process, which is why they will be picked later.

One would think that UCF would sell a lot of tickets to the Orange Bowl, being in the same state, and being first BCS appearance.

You would rather play A&M? I think Bama is a better matchup

as far as our talents vs theirs.
The idea of playing a mobile QB like Manziel is scary.

Until the system changes next year, I would say that you are deserving. Not Clemson's fault how it's set up. The only other "eligible" team that might be more deserving is Baylor.

Several million = 13 million. That's a significant difference... Although I believe it gets split with the entire conference after our travel expenses are compensated.

Assuming Ohio St. wins, I think we will. If Ohio St. loses,

then with Michigan St. taking the Rose, Auburn in the National Championship, Clemson would be bumped by Ohio State in the at-large pool.

.. past Clemson. They are within range, and have a game left. I don't think it's likely though.
