Because of health reasons, Archie Manning is stepping down from the College Football Playoff Committee that will determine the four finalists for the 2014 national championship.
"We will miss Archie," executive director Bill Hancock said. "He has such a great knowledge of college football and history with the game, but we all understand his reason for taking a leave. I wish him all the best and look forward to his return in 2015."
Manning underwent knee replacement surgery earlier this year and is having some complications that are not life-threatening but will require another surgery early next month.
Manning said, "It is an honor to serve on this committee, and I enjoy the group and was looking forward to the opportunity ahead. My health had to be my primary concern and I intend to be up and about as soon as possible."
He also underwent back surgery in 2013 and therefore will focus on his health, unable at this time to devote his time to the duties that are required of him to determine the finalists for the college national football championship playoff.
The committee will continue with 12 members for the rest of the season.

Dang seems like this would give him more if a chance to do it. Just kick back and watch nothing but CFB and enjoy life.

I know. I was just screwing around because Ole Miss needs a lobbyist on the committee.

He would have had to recuse himself from the Ole Miss deliberations anyway.

what exactly is required where he'd need to consider his health first?
can't he just sit around on the couch and watch football all day? is that too much for him to do?

With all their meetings they're doing a frick ton of traveling though. Can take a toll.
