Here’s how the College Football Playoff selection committee plans to meet this season
Published:
When the College Football Playoff committee meets this season, it’s obviously going to be a bit different due to COVID-19.
That said, all of the committee members will be meeting in person, though they’ll need to take a rapid daily antigen test every Monday, according to Heather Dinich:
The CFP is requiring all 13 selection committee members to take a rapid daily antigen test every Monday a.m. before they meet in person. If positive, a PCR test will follow. If THAT's positive, they either quarantine 14 days at the Gaylord Texan, or drive home if possible.

After this was released, Dinich followed it up with another tweet, this time a statement from Executive Director of the CFP Bill Hancock about why the committee is meeting in person rather than virtual:
Hancock told me: “We’re asking players and coaches to travel every week. The least we can do is ask the selection committee members to travel.”

This will surely be an interesting process and hopefully, there are no positive tests for any of the committee members while these meetings are taking place.
