2017-2018 Bowl Season

From the Wilner Daily Email Summary (yes, you should subscribe)

If the Pac-12 gets shut out of the College Football Playoff next season, it won’t be because of an east coast bias inside the selection committee.

The balance tipped significantly to the west this week with the announcement that Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens has been elevated to chair and with the appointment of two new members: USC legend Ronnie Lott and former Arizona Republic sports columnist Paola Boivin (who currently serves as a professor at ASU’s Cronkite School). Both are excellent selections.

I don't believe the previous four CFP committees had an east coast bias or displayed any signs of bias, but let’s be honest about committees in general:

The mere fact that the other 10 members will spend so much time with Mullens, Boivin and Lott -- that they will develop relationships with them over the course of years -- could have a subtle impact on opinion and voting. It's human nature.

This will be the fifth year of the CFP. With the chair and two other members, the Pac-12 will have its greatest presence yet and will get the fairest shake possible. Now all it has to do is win. — Jon Wilner

Negative of it is that I believe they have to recuse themselves from the room when Pac-12 teams are being discussed.
