IRVING, Texas — Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades will lead the College Football Playoff selection committee next season.
Other new members of the 13-person committee will be former Michigan State and Cincinnati coach Mark Dantonio, Maryland AD Damon Evans, Middle Tennessee State AD Chris Massaro, former Mississippi tight end Wesley Walls and sports writers Ivan Maisel and Steve Wieberg.
“I am truly honored to be asked to serve as chair of the selection committee,” Rhoades said according to a Baylor press release. “It was a privilege to join such a dedicated group of individuals last year, as each and every member of the committee is passionate about college football and focused on ensuring the integrity and excellence of the playoff process. I look forward to continuing our work again this fall.”
The committee is in charge of ranking the teams to set them into the 12-team postseason bracket that debuted last season. Still undetermined is whether there will be changes to the system in 2025.
The commissioners from the SEC and Big Ten are in favor of reworking the system so that conference winners aren’t automatically awarded first-round byes. But any changes for the upcoming season would require a unanimous vote of the 11 conference commissioners and Notre Dame AD who run the playoff.
