NCAA should say no thanks to coaches wanting on the college football playoff committee

Well, we have a college football playoff, or will have soon enough, the 2014 season.

And we'll have a committee to determine the four teams.

The reason for the committee approach is clear: It's different. If we had been allowing a committee to select the two teams for the BCS' Big Bowl all these years, sure as shooting we'd now be going to some kind of BCS formula, complete with polls, computers and whatever other gadgetry someone could imagine.

Anything to get as far as possible from the BCS stench. That system, for better or worse, had soiled in the public view.
