I'm sure there are more but these are the best examples I can think of.
I'm not just talking NDSU though. McNeese is a great example. Why the fuck where they #4? Who did they beat to deserve that seed?
Eastern Illinois was a deserving #2 in 2013.
The rest of your examples I can't argue with. McNeese probably should have played the first weekend last year.
Honestly, I think the committee does a good job of doing what they say they're going to do. I just don't think that they're very good at valuing the right things. But, basically every human has the same problems the committee does, and we don't want to turn it over to completely objective algorithms, so what can you do?

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
