College Football Playoff Selection Committee

Since these will be the guys that will be selecting which of our collective teams will get a shot at the National Championship every year, I thought it might be interesting to see who everyone thought should be on the list.

Here is what College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock has said previously will be included:

No current commissioners, coaches or media members would be on the committee, which will determine the four teams in the playoff. Besides current athletic directors, former coaches, athletic directors and administrators will be on the committee, which is expected to consist of 12 to 20 members. Hancock also has said previously there could be one retired media member on the committee.

Here is my Top Ten(not in order)

1. Tom Osbourne
2. Keith Jackson
3. Howard Schnellenberger
4. Barry Alvarez
5. Gene Stallings
6. Vince Dooley
7. Don Nehlan
8. Fisher DeBerry
9. Lloyd Carr
10. Don James


Others I considered: Deloss Dodds, John Robinson, Frank Broyles, LaVell Edwards, Hayden Fry, Dick MacPherson, Bobby Bowden, Barry Switzer and Ara Parseghian.

Of course there are two main problems with choosing any list of former coaches, AD's, administrators and such...Death and Dementia...but outside of current AD's, everybody under consideration is retired, most are at least in their late 70's, so the alternate list better be kept current.

Frank Broyles as both a coach and ex-media member. Wish I could hear him and Jackson call a game just 1 more time.

While I'm OK with that, I'm surprised it is coming from an LSU supporter...I lived in BR during the Dinardo era and don't recall much love...although he is currently working as an analyst on the Big Ten Network, so he may not be eligible.

No. Effing. Way would Howard Schnellenberger be anything but a bombastic, opinionated, egotistical drunk with an agenda. The guy got fired after ONE YEAR at Oklahoma he was so bad. Oklahoma! That just doesn't happen at OU unless you're a total clusterfuck. Please, no white haired walrus so bombed he can't even pronounce his own name in front of a crowd. (Yea, it happened.)

I love me some Dinardo....

Saban gets all the credit for building up the LSU program. Dinardo built the foundation after the Archer/Hallman era. (We could have had Spurier instead of Archer...FML). Saban built the house on that foundation....


ETA: didn't realize he had a BTN gig......

Didn't even remember he was ever at OU. My main reason for including him was that he has had success at multiple programs at multiple levels. He's not only my list of favorite people by any means.

yeah, it had nothing to do with him playing at Alabama under the Bear, or anything like that.

Jack Swarbrick should be on the comittee. Tom Osbourne and Barry Alvarez are great choices. I'm trying to think of younger people as the op's list is older, not that anything is wrong with that. Lloyd Carr is a good choice as well. Glen Foley(Florida AD) I think that's his name. Barry Switzer(I don't think he's in media anymore.

He played at Kentucky under Bear...I don't have much allegiance to Saban's former LSU players either.

He was our OC back in the 60's...but if I was picking people that formally coached at Alabama, Howard would not top my list. But thanks for letting your homerism show through.

Osbourne and Smellyburger are both noted Texas haters.

No thanks.

Hey if we are going to have a small committee with inherent biases then why try to hide it? Phil Knight is perfect. At least he can't be bribed

I'm cool with Phil (Slave Labor) Knight being on the committee so long as Steve Sarkisian and Mike Riley are too.

Why not? We can stop the pretense that these 12 people will do anything but try to get their team/conference bids

John bunting. He wasn't a good coach, but I think he's respectable and probably has the time/experience/etc. if needed to be a good fit. Also, if Beamer wasn't still coaching he'd probably be my first choice.
