COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State will have a presence on the College Football Playoff selection committee,according to a report from ESPN's Heather Dinich.
Buckeyes athletic director Gene Smith will replace Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez on the selection committee, sources told Dinich. Alvarez is one of three committee members whose terms have expired. He's served on the committee for the first three seasons of the playoff's existence.
The College Football Playoff is expected to officially name new members of the selection committee this month.
The other members whose terms have expired are former Vanderbilt and Furman head coach Bobby Johnson, and former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Smith, a Cleveland native who played college football and and briefly coached at Notre Dame, has been Ohio State's athletic director since 2005. He has experience in this kind of committee role, having spent five seasons on the NCAA men's basketball tournament committee and serving as its chair in 2010-11.
Other current athletic directors currently serving on the selection committee include Texas A&M's Kirby Hocutt, the committee's chair, Arkansas' Jeff Long, Oregon's Rob Mullens and Clemson's Dan Radakovich.
The College Football Playoff has rules in place as it pertains to committee members discussing and voting on teams from which they or a family member receives compensation, or if they have a professional relationship with a school. Committee members with such ties recuse themselves when the school in question is being voted on or discussed.
From the College Football Playoff website:
"A recused member shall not participate in any votes, nor be present during deliberations involving the team's selection or seeding, but may answer factual questions about the institution from which the member is recused. The recusal policy is virtually identical to the NCAA men's basketball committee policy."
Recused committee members are not allowed in the room during any discussions regarding their school's selection or seeding.
