I think one of the things that we need to be doing over the next several months is explaining the double-hosting model, which is in effect the national championship game rotating through the four bowls. I think there might be some confusion as to how the teams get to the (title) game. |
I used to go to more games than I do now. Every game you see in person you probably miss somewhere between five and 10 games. |
I was very impressed with the culture of the committee. You leave your hat at the door, so to speak, and do the best that you can with the material that's in front of you.

It is very gratifying to see, as so much of the media pronounced us dead in November. |
It's good to have him back in the league. |
It's important now that this loophole be looked at nationally, ... In 2000, when the N.C.A.A. decided to move away from some critical analysis, it opened the door and people moved ahead with it. |
Just the fundamental format, I think, needs explanation. |
