Q&A: College Football Playoff committee chair Kirby Hocutt

This season, there will be a new face representing the College Football Playoff selection committee, as Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt has taken over for Jeff Long as the committee chair. Hocutt recently chatted with ESPN.com about his new role, the perception of bias on the committee and the challenge of finding the four best teams to put in the playoff.

Are you ready to be the most second-guessed person in the world of college football?

Kirby Hocutt: You know, it’s an honor and a privilege for me to serve in this role.
