The 2nd committee rankings of 2024 were released on Tuesday night, so media members and fans are naturally discussing the CFP process.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike prior years, where only 4 teams were selected to make the CFP, the committee now has to choose 12. The committee is currently made up of 6 sitting ADs, 4 former head coaches,\u00a0 2 former players, and 1 college professor.<\/p>\n<p>Burns took to social media to declare that no sitting AD should be on the committee.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There should NEVER be a person that\u2019s currently involved in college athletics on any level sit on the CFB Playoff selection committee,&#8221; wrote Burns. &#8220;No sitting ADs should ever be a part of a process that involves subjective analysis.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"css-175oi2r\"><\/div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">There should NEVER be a person that\u2019s currently involved in college athletics on any level sit on the CFB Playoff selection committee.<\/p>\n<p>No sitting AD\u2019s should ever be a part of a process that involves subjective analysis.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Peter Burns (@PeterBurnsESPN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeterBurnsESPN\/status\/1856537065862631811?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 13, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Many agreed with Burns&#8217; sentiment, while others pointed out that other postseason tournaments, such as March Madness, are also selected by current college administrators.<\/p>\n<p>The hope is that the committee members put aside any biases and select the best teams possible.
