The College Football Playoff committee announced six new additions to the selection committee today. The lucky individuals who will choose next year’s four-team playoff are Paola Boivin (award-winning sports journalist), Joe Castiglione (Oklahoma Athletic Director), Ken Hatfield (former head coach), Ronnie Lott (USC Athletic Director), Todd Stansbury (Georgia Tech Athletic Director) and Scott Stricklin (Florida Athletic Director).
After egregiously ranking UCF throughout the College Football Playoff rankings, and then having to eat crow when UCF defeated Auburn in the Peach Bowl, there was some hope that Bill Hancock, the Executive Director of the College Football Playoff, would add more representation for the Group of Five to make sure those programs don’t continue to receive unfair treatment.
