That would helpful for the ACC.

I wouldn't mind if the entire committee was nothing but retired/unemployed coaches. I don't think people with full time jobs have enough time to watch enough games and I think coaches understand the game better than administrators. From a distance, TOB seems like a classy guy and would be a good person to have on the committee.

Myself you love to see someone from the NFL like a Bill Polian or Gil Brandt...Retired but know actual Football from a Talent and X and O Stand Point and would not have the "Conference" bias...

Yes, Maize, I'd be fine with that too.

My biggest gripe is when you have someone who is an AD or has some other time-consuming job and they are expected to keep up with 128 football teams on top of that... doesn't seem like they can take it very seriously.

Exactly....it is a conflict of interest...

This just adds even more controversy to the whole system.

The committee is the worst part of the playoff.

I agree that the committee has its problems.

I just don't know what would replace it. An AP poll? :)
