Nebraska athletic director named to College Football Playoff Selection Committee
Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen has been appointed to the College Football Playoff Selection Committee. Dannen is joined by Jeff Long, who was the AD at Kansas, Arkansas, and Pittsburgh.
The Huskers' AD is replacing Damon Evans, who recently became the athletic director at Southern Methodist. Executive Director Rich Clark expressed his excitement for the new appointments.
"We are pleased to have Troy and Jeff join the committee. Troy brings a long commitment to college athletics to our group and previous experience as a member of the FCS Selection Committee, while Jeff, as the first chairman of the CFP selection committee (2014-15), will step in immediately and provide an experienced voice in the room."
Troy Dannen is in his second year as Nebraska's athletics director. He previously served as the chair of the NCAA Football Competition Committee and was an executive committee member of the Football Oversight Committee.
The College Football Playoff Selection Committee ranks the top 25 teams and assigns 12 teams to the playoff bracket. The committee meets in person beginning in early November and produces a ranking of the top 25 teams each week leading up to its final selections.
