Reports: Condoleezza Rice Among Many on New CFB Playoff Committee

Interesting.

Leave it to the group formally known as the BCS to find a way to make everyone raise an eyebrow about the way a college football champ is selected.

Multiple reports say former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will join West Virginia AD Oliver Luck, Wisconsin AD Barry Alvarez, USC AD Pat Haden, Clemson AD Dan Radakovich and others as the "All-Knowing" group who will decide who gets in the new College Football "Playoff" system.

That system will replace the current BCS which goes away after the 2014 season.

It appears the representatives will primarily come from the (Surprise) power conferences: ACC, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12, and SEC along with a former NCAA vice president and a former Lt. General from the Air Force.

No really.

On one hand, it's good, no longer will the title be in the hands of a series of secret computer polls. Humans will decide.

But, with the "Power Conferences" being pretty much the only representatives, what does it say for the Mountain West and other FBS conferences like the Sun Belt, Conference USA, the AAC and a handful more, who....weren't invited.

Just wondering....

And yes, we know the answer.
