One shared trait of the College Football Playoff selection committee members is their willingness to keep quiet outside of the meeting room.
They're a buttoned-up, hush-hush group that follows the directions and leaves all of the talking to the committee chair, Jeff Long for the first two seasons, and the big boss, Bill Hancock.
That's why Steve Spurrier, the loquacious and always quotable former South Carolina coach, isn't on this list of potential candidates to replace the four committee members whose terms expire in February.
The CFP management committee will announce the replacements for Mike Gould, Pat Haden, Tom Osborne and Mike Tranghese this month.
