Former USC All-American Ronnie Lott is one of six new members for the College Football Playoff selection committee, it was announced Wednesday.

Lott, a safety for the Trojans from 1978-80, joins former Arizona Republic columnist Paola Boivin, Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione, former coach Ken Hatfield, Georgia Tech athletic director Todd Stansbury and Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin. Boivin, currently a sports journalism professor at Arizona State University, is also a former Los Angeles Daily News writer and columnist.
