George Named To College Football Playoff Selection Committee

BOULDER — University of Colorado athletic director Rick George has been named to the College Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Committee, executive director Bill Hancock announced Wednesday morning. He will serve a three-year term beginning with their first meetings later this spring.

George, 59, will be one of three new representatives on the 13-member selection committee, which is charged with creating six weekly top 25 rankings beginning the first week of November, and culminating in the selection of the four teams that will compete in the CFP playoffs and the additional eight schools that will earn bids into the other four "New Year's Six" bowls (Cotton, Fiesta, Orange and Peach).
