“It is always great to get everyone together before the season starts to welcome our new members and review our procedures in detail,” Michigan Athletic Director and CFP Committee Chair Warde Manuel said in a statement.
“The work of the College Football Playoff selection committee has a solid foundation with its processes and protocols, and the committee members are looking forward to ranking the top 25 teams this season as we kick off the first year of the 12-team format.”
