The all-powerful College Football Playoff Selection Committee will be a person down before a vote is cast this week.

Bet you haven't noticed. The committee is supposed to be comprised of 13 folks, but because of attrition, it will be down to a Debating Dozen for the third time in two years.

In that span, three members have left for health reasons.

Archie Manning was one of the original 13 but took a leave of absence in 2014, citing health concerns relating to knee surgery.
