I think the top factors here as far as SU is concerned are

1) date
and
2) what the players want

I believe exams end at SU on 12/19.  Any bowl played before Christmas has a major impact on the player’s preparing for and taking finals.  I believe in the past they have said this is a major issue and I think it still is.

And I believe SUAD knows the players have been through a lot this year and want to do right by them by letting them determine where they go, as best they can.

I assume the players were polled and voted for Dallas.  I bet a bunch of them have never been there.

All speculation on my part.

Regarding FSU, I hope they get a spot in the playoffs.  IMHO, Alabama was clearly a level below the top teams this year.  Props to them for getting an upset over what appears to be an overrated Georgia team but they have struggled all season and are not one of the top 4 teams in the country.

It is a shame the Seminoles appear to be on the outside looking in.
