The 13 Selection Committee Members. After the ninth week of regular season play, the selection committee begins ranking the top 25 teams on a weekly basis.
The committee identifies and compares the top teams, then votes them into the rankings. Towards the end of the regular season, selection weekend takes place, where the committee determines the playoff matchups. The committee selects teams based on conference championship wins, overall win-loss records, strength of schedule, head-to-head matchups and other criteria.
The selection committee is also responsible for choosing the teams which play in the Cotton, Fiesta and Peach Bowls in years those bowls are not hosting the semifinal games. The Rose, Sugar and Orange Bowls have previous existing contracts with conferences.
Cities interested in hosting the national championship game must submit a bid, in a process similar to bidding for a Super Bowl site. ECU's offense could not get untracked against Cincinnati but is capable of giving BC fits -- in a game BC cannot be happy to be playing in.
It's always a risk going against an SEC team in the postseason --especially one essentially playing at home. But the Tigers stumble into this off four straight losses and without Bo Nix at QB -- and keeping up with Houston's firepower will prove to be too much. A simple belief here: Louisville does not have the discipline to slow down Air Force's at times dominant triple option.
With a new staff and the program in flux, Red Raiders may bot be up to the challenge of QB Will Rogers and the revenge that MSU coach Mike Leach will be seeking from a program that fired him for "a defiant act of insubordination. Time for Chip Kelly to start earning his keep. Impressed with the way Minnesota finished the season.
Let's be honest: It's hard to get revved up over a game between two teams that will have new coaches next year playing in a baseball stadium in late December. But at least Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall is sticking around for this. When in doubt, go with the team with the better QB Tua Tagovailoa and a full-time head coach. Not sure this trend of playing football games in baseball stadiums in the Northeast in late December is the home run bowl organizers think it is. Even with a skeleton coaching staff, Dabo Swinney has enough talent to get by an Iowa State team that has been hard to get a handle on this year.
Tigers finished the year strong, with the offense finally starting to hold its own after the defense carried this team for most of the year.
Lincoln Riley may be gone but the Sooners rate a superior talent -- and toughness -- edge. Not sure how much Mario Cristobal will be missed on game day for Oregon, as Miami fans will soon find out. A year from now the Gamecocks might be ready for this. For now, even against a porous Tar Heels defense, they will struggle to keep up with UNC's firepower. As if practically playing a home game wasn't enough of an advantage for the Vols, Purdue stars David Bell and George Karlaftis have opted out of this bowl game.
Boilermakers' defense showed improvement, but Vols dual threat QB Hendon Hooker could have a big game without having to worry about Karlaftis. If Pickett plays, Pitt is the pick.
If not, Spartans should have their way in this one. It's a bit worrisome that the Badgers finished the season with a clunker in a game they needed to win, but it's more difficult picking a Pac team to beat any quality opponent. Wisconsin's defense and physical offense should rule the day.
Originally had this penciled in as a double-digit line so giving just five seems like a steal. Deacons may be too soft for this. With Manny Diaz gone, it's addition by subtraction on the sidelines for the 'Canes.
Looks like Miami has its quarterback of the future in Tyler Van Dyke, who made huge strides after taking over. The concern with Miami, as always in games like this, is motivation. Broncos looked to finally hit their stride before a season-ending loss to San Diego State and they did win four road games this year.
If quality of competition matters, this is a game Boise should be well prepared to win. Given the way the Tide has play far too many close games this year, and with the thought that Nick Saban's squad peaked against Georgia, the Bearcats can be competitive here. Let's see how quickly the Bulldogs get their swagger back after the Alabama beatdown. Hard not to like the way Michigan comes into this, especially with the way the defense is playing. Wolverines need to solve Georgia's defense if they have any upset hopes.
Hogs have been battle tested all year and have come through it in solid fashion. Not sure what Penn State has done to inspire much confidence other than to keep some challenging games close. Arkansas rates a huge edge here in game-day coaching as well. SEC speed and talent vs. Big Ten brawn -- and plodding offense. With Iowa leading rusher Tyler Goodson opting out that makes the Hawkeyes even more predictable than usual.
