Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens will become the new chairman of the College Football Playoff selection committee starting next season, and three new Power Five ADs will join the 13-member panel.
Hocutt replaced Jeff Long, who held the position for the first two seasons of the playoff. A chairman is chosen each season. Mullens will be entering his third season on the committee.
"He is an experienced committee member, extremely passionate about college football, detail-oriented and brings a high level of energy that is perfectly suited to chairing the committee," College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock said in a statement.
