College Football Playoff committee welcomes three new members for 2024 season

Former coaches Gus Malzahn of Auburn and Jeff Tedford of Cal will join the College Football Playoff selection committee this spring, the CFP announced Monday. Arkansas athletic director Hunter Yurachek will return for a second year as selection committee chair, and Louisiana-Lafayette AD Bryan Maggard will join the group. The new members will serve three-year terms and replace the outgoing Chris Ault, Jeff Long and David Sayler. "The additions of Bryan Maggard, Gus Malzahn and Jeff Tedford will introduce strong, fresh perspectives to the selection committee as we enter our 13th season," CFP executive director Rich Clark said in a statement. "Each brings a deep understanding of the game, a genuine passion for college football and a commitment to integrity and excellence. Their diverse backgrounds as university leaders, recent coaches and former student-athletes will complement our returning members and allow for a seamless transition."
