Bill Hancock, Archie Manning talk playoff

"There could be fewer weekly rankings in 2015: With a shorter season, there could be a natural window for the selection committee to meet fewer times next fall, meaning fewer rankings would be released. The season will only be 14 weeks instead of 15 because of the way the calendar falls. The selection committee met seven times during the 2014 season."

"Cost of reimbursement: Hancock said it will cost the playoff an estimated $500k to reimburse parents and guardians of Ohio State and Oregon players for their airfare, meals and lodging to the national championship game."

“We can absolutely afford to do this,” Hancock said. “I was delighted to get that call from the NCAA telling us it could happen.”

"The news happened so quickly that the playoff announced its reimbursement amount of $1,250 before the NCAA released an even larger approved amount of $3,000."

“I learned about it that morning,” Hancock said. “We had to hustle a call together to get approval to proceed. As you know I worked for the NCAA for many years before I came here, and I’ve never seen anything turn around as quickly as that one.”
