    Why on earth is Condi on the panel? Maybe she knows her stuff but I would rather have a former coach or a guy like Gruden on the panel instead of her.

    I thought the exact thing. Makes no sense

    I don't know. I knew she was a big NFL fan, guess she's a college fan also. I do know that she's brilliant. So she has that going for her.

    I think she's there as a sort of academic representative. Plus, I think she knows the game pretty well. She was rumored to be an NFL Commissioner candidate.

    Gruden doesn't have time to adequately watch enough games with his mnf stuff and espn nfl segments.

    My personal opinion is that IF MSU ever did have a shot, most of these people will give the benefit of the vote to the big name schools. I would rather have the computers running the selections.

    Condi is on the committee because it pretty much guarantees at least one member will not have bias and for "diversity".

    I was thinking the same. While some may not agree with her political stance, she comes from a family that stressed education first. From the interviews I've seen of her, and what I've read, she seems to be level headed. That tends to make me lean toward thinking she'd have a broad perspective.

    Condi is damn smart and a big sports fan. Her dream job is NFL commissioner. Look at her resume before concluding that's rediculous.

    She is there for diversity. Intelligencia diversity.

    Condi will be a fantastic member of the committee. Hell, I'm more worried about old farts like Archie and guys like Gruden who don't have the time to watch the college games closely enough and are likely to vote based purely on "name."
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    Gotta agree. It seemed like the easiest, most simple solution ever to take the top 8 from the BCS and have them play it off. But of course, that's why it didn't happen. The NCAA has to f up everything it touches.

    This committee sucks, but Condi is not the reason.

    Why not use the polls? The BCS formula? This committee can only be the reason why a good team is left off.

    At least the BCS formula tries to be formulaic and data driven. A team can see where they are screwed weeks ahead. This committee can strike like a angel of death and there will be nothing but a cloud of smoke to explain why.

    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    if the computers would just make their algorithms public, i'd be all about this (a few years ago there was an error that could have easily changed the title game participants). i'd also boot out the sham of the coaches' poll, get the AP poll back in the fold, and keep the harris poll.

    She is the second woman member of Augusta National. The first (who came the same year) is the GE CEO since GE is such a huge sponsor of the Master's.
