airhead people."

3-point stance: Who selects the four?
June, 26, 2012
By
Ivan Maisel | ESPN.com
1. Before anyone has decided that a committee should select the four
teams in the playoff, speculation has begun on the size of the committee
and the identity of its appointees. Former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer
and former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, Hall of Famers both, have
volunteered. With all due respect, why pick any retired coach? Let’s not
make this complicated. Pick commissioners and athletic directors -- as
all the other sports have done for decades -- and trust their integrity.
2. The Iron Bowl rivalry spent 40 seasons (1908-47) in the desert before Alabama and Auburn agreed to play again. Taylor Watson, the curator of the Paul W. Bryant Museum in Tuscaloosa, has unearthed an exchange of letters between officials at the two schools circa 1926 in which Auburn wanted to resume play. In setting aside the request, the Alabama official quoted Auburn then-president Spright Dowell, who had said three years earlier that he feared a “…damaging situation in that foot-ball would tend to become the all-the-year topic at both institutions and all other games, contests, and activities would be made subservient to the one supreme event of the year.” That could never happen.
3. Dowell, continued: “In the interest of fairness and good sportsmanship, it would seem highly desirable to cherish the growing spirit of good will on the part of Auburn for the University, and on the part of the University for Auburn in the hope that all friends of both institutions will desire each to win every game it plays and that the student-bodies may invariably ‘pull’ for each other.” It’s fair to say that President Dowell's worst fears never included a rivalry that could produce a Harvey Updyke.

Seriously,
what would our college football games look like without USC, Clemson,
Syracuse, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Tennessee,
LSU, Notre Dame, ect...I do not want to leave any good college team out
Kansas vs Kentucky? that will get everyones attention. (Until they realize its football and not basketball)
Ha,ha,ha..About right - Will they ever leave politics out of it?
Nope, especially if they put coaches in the committee.
Follow
the money. No one wants to see a stadium with lots of empty seats.
Who can sell the seats? The ACC has trouble selling all the seats to
its championship game--it costs a lot of money for a fan to attend a
week-end at a major bowl. Basketball has 8 teams per venue, so each
school is responsible for about 2000 tickets. ACC schools can handle
2000 seats. Football has two teams, so each is responsible for
30-40,000 tickets. That's a lot of wealthy fans. Now do this 3 times
in one m...more

Why would they? Updyke-type fans are ridiculously extreme.

Finding
15 people to be on the selection committee that don't have Conf. or
Univ. ties is almost impossible . There is no way that this works
without some backlash at some point . And the possibility of a block
placed against certain conferences and or schools .

Fifteen angry men ( selecting Jury ) making millions, and millions of college football fans very upset.
Have
you seen the lists some of these people are suggesting for guys to
serve on the committee? SEC Bias City. It's going to be tough to select a
committee that doesn't cause issues, no matter what. Commissioners and
ADs? Do they watch all the games?
So
many questions, and still not enough answers. Half a Billion dollar
college football playoff, and payoff, is a lot of money, $$$ $$$ $$$.
Who is going to pick the college football playoff teams?
The people that pick the teams for the final four playoff is of course just about everything.
