College Football Playoff adds four to selection committee

The College Football Playoff announced Thursday that it has added four new members to its selection committee.

Former Southern Miss coach Jeff Bower, former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, former Central Michigan coach Herb Deromedi and Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens all will begin their three-year tenures with the committee in the spring.

The tenures of Mike Gould, Pat Haden, Tom Osborne and Mike Tranghese expired after the 2015-16 season.

“We are delighted that Jeff, Lloyd, Herb and Rob are joining the committee,” Bill Hancock, Executive Director of the College Football Playoff, said in a statement. “Throughout the selection process, it was essential that the four new members have an in-depth knowledge and passion for college football. Each of these four fit that description perfectly. They will continue the high integrity of the committee.”
