Following a tumultuous but successful season that culminated with a national championship, Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel has been named the chair of the College Football Playoff selection committee for the first season of a 12-team playoff, the CFP announced on Thursday.
"We are delighted that Warde will serve as chair," CFP executive director Bill Hancock said in a prepared statement. "He has been a valuable member of the committee the last two years and that experience will serve him well in leading the group. As a former student-athlete, he will also be a good spokesperson to let fans know how the committee reached its rankings.
