This will be awful and biased

The BCS wasn't broken. The "BCS Busters" have an even lesser chance at making it to the title game now. What a crock.

I hate the fact that the NCAA went with a selection committe. I don't see why they couldn't use the current BCS computer formula, or something similar, and just take the top 4 from that. A selection committe is begging for controversy.

I played I-AA ball and our 16 team playoff was selected by a committe of AD's every year. The top 10 were always a given, but the final 3 or 4 wild card spots were always a toss up and it came down to which AD could make a deal for his conference. I can only imagine it being that much more complicated with all the money that is on the line for a National Championship playoff.

The fact that Mike Tranghese is on that list is an absolute joke. This is the guy that blackballed Penn State from the Big East

This is on the low end of the total number of committee members expected when they were planning this. This July article has the possible members at 12 to 20, and the article also talks about current AD's not being expected on the committee until that time.
