Utah’s Athletics Director appointed to represent Big 12 Conference for remainder of 2025 CFP selection process
IRVING, Texas — Utah Director of Athletics Mark Harlan has been appointed to the College Football Playoff Selection Committee for the remainder of the 2025 selection process, CFP executive director Rich Clark announced Thursday. Harlan, in his eighth year as athletics director at Utah, served on the committee in 2023 and will rejoin the committee to serve as the Big 12 Conference's representative, replacing Baylor A.D. Mack Rhoades, who stepped down from the committee today.
Â
"I'm honored to be asked to step up and serve once again on the College Football Playoff selection committee at this critical time in the season, though I wished it was under different circumstances," Harlan said. "I have great respect for the selection committee's work and its members, as well as for the CFP staff, and I look forward to contributing in the weeks ahead."
Harlan, who also served a three-year term on the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee from 2019-2022, joins a distinguished group of leaders in intercollegiate athletics, including former coaches and student-athletes, college administrators and journalists, along with sitting athletics directors, on the committee.
"Mark Harlan is an excellent choice to serve as the Big 12 Conference's representative on the College Football Playoff Selection Committee," said Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark. "Mark's previous experience on the committee will serve the interests of all of college football alongside the other committee members."
The CFP Selection Committee is responsible for ranking the top 25 teams, then assigning the 12 teams to the playoff bracket. The committee meets in-person beginning in early November and produces a ranking of the top 25 teams each week leading up to its final selections.

About the College Football Playoff
The College Football Playoff (CFP) is the event that crowns the national champion in college football. The CFP selection committee ranks the top 25 teams at the end of the regular season. The five highest ranked conference champions and the next seven highest-ranked teams will be seeded into a 12-team bracket based on the final ranking, with the four highest-ranked teams receiving a first-round bye. The teams ranked Nos. 5-12 will play in the CFP First Round, with the higher seeds hosting the lower seeds. The Playoff Quarterfinals and Playoff Semifinals rotate annually among six bowl games – the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic, Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, Capital One Orange Bowl, Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential and the Allstate Sugar Bowl. The College Football Playoff National Championship will be on Monday, January 19, 2026, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
