Context: Yesterday Jeremy Foley, Florida's Athletic Director, said that Mike Slive has asked the AD's from the SEC schools to submit their choices/recommendations for who they feel should be on the selection committee for the upcoming final four in college football's upcoming playoffs.
There are arguments for and against a lot of professions. Some are saying "no media members." Others that may be excluded include current conference commissioners and current Athletic Directors. Mark May and Tony Barnhart went as far as to suggest Condoleezza Rice as a possible candidate.
I read where FSU's head coach, Jimbo Fisher, said it should be conducted as a poll where all of the coaches voted. Considering the number of Sports Information Director's who have handled coaches votes in the past there's a good argument against that.
Media members? For every one recommended I'm sure we could find a number of arguments against each and every one.
Setting aside those exclusions, who would you have fill this committee? (How long before people look back at the BCS and remember it fondly?
)
I've had a few names cross my mind. One that has emerged, which I've not seen mentioned, is Larry Kehresāthe recently retired head coach of Mount Union. Tom Osbourne and Vince Dooley are two other names I'd give a lot of consideration.
FWIW, AD Bill Battle was one of the few who publicly released his recommendations: former SEC commissioner Roy Kramer, sports business magnate Harvey Schiller, legendary Georgia coach Vince Dooley and former Tennessee athletics director Doug Dickey.
