NCAA Playoff panel weekly Top 25 starting Oct. 28

IRVING, Texas — The BCS standings are out. The College Football Playoff selection committee Top 25 is in.

Starting Oct. 28, the 13-member panel given the task of picking the schools for the new four-team playoff will release weekly rankings.

Voting for the newest college football poll will be done using the same procedure and recusal policy used by the committee that chooses the 68-team field for NCAA men's basketball tournament. The voting will be broken down into tiers, with the panel first grouping teams and then coming to a consensus on how they should be ordered with numerous votes.

A committee member who is currently employed or compensated by a school, or who has an immediate family member at a school, will not be allowed to vote for that school.

The committee, which includes five current athletic directors, will meet in person for a day every week and their rankings will be released on Tuesday nights on ESPN.

"The concept will be, if the season ended today, these will be the rankings," College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock said Wednesday.

Hookers and booze?

Not with Condoleelza Rice on the panel!

Still didn't get the Condeleeza move. Yeah, she says she's a football fan, so what. I'm a football fan with as much experience coaching, analyzing and critiquing teams as she has. But I played the game. Why didn't I get selected for the panel? Just doesn't seem qualified, at all. She's an avid follower of Stanford athletics, but what does that mean? It means nothing to me. I'm an avid follower of North Texas and the Florida Gators. Where's my seat on the panel? I guess being a former Secretary of the State and a Notre Dame education qualifies one to analyze football.

Yeah - but she doesn't have a body of 800+ posts that basically speak for themselves.

I think she is a little more qualified than you in making critical decisions.

That said, she will be nothing but a shill for the P5. Is there anyone on that panel that isn't a fan of a P5 school?

Quoner, douche bag. But I have 800 posts!! Obviously I was playing about the Condeleeza comment.

Next thing you know, she'll be on the jury for the Van Cliburn competition.
