Former Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio is one of five new College Football Playoff selection committee members named to the 13-member group tasked with ranking the top 25 teams that ultimately are considered for the 12-team field this fall.
The CFP announced on Tuesday that Dantonio will join Maryland athletic director Damon Evans, former ESPN college football reporter Ivan Maisel, Middle Tennessee State AD Chris Massaro, and former Ole Miss All-American tight end Wesley Walls in the incoming class.
The CFP asked former USA Today sportswriter Steve Wieberg, who served on the CFP selection committee from 2014-2017, to return for a one-year term.
