Louisville just found out what I was hoping they wouldn't.

Apparently Louisville fans have caught wind that Drad is on the playoff selection committee. This is bad, and exactly why I've always said the playoff committee member list should not be made public. There is enough pressure on the committee members without them having to worry about the fan bases finding out who they are, and trying to prevent them from doing their job. It's somewhat understandable that other teams would be concerned about us having our AD on the committee, but I would think they would want the Clemson AD present and available for questions. Who would have a better understanding of Clemson football than Drad? I'm sure the other committee members would appreciate having that kind of insider knowledge to help them make the best possible selections. If I know Drad, he would be the first to point out our strengths AND our weaknesses.

First the sideline marker guy, then the officials, now this... Louisville is just trying to stir up more trouble, IMHO.

He can't even be in the room when Clemson is even mentioned so its really not that big of a deal. But Louisville fans may as well be the worst fans in CFB so of course they are going to make a big deal about it. No one said a lick last year.

...as stated somewhere in the agreement. I don't know if this applies to every time we are considered for a playoff spot or only for the final vote in the last week.

Would figure current rules are similar to last year.
He was on the committee then, as well, when we started # 1 in first week of voting and stayed that way until we lost to Bama.
Don't see a issue IMO.

Mary'sland for Lloserville. Can I change my mind? These guys are the biggest freaking babies I have ever heard of. I can't wait to see them playing Duke and UNC when its full tilt ACC time over the next 6 or 8 years. They may die of dehydration from all the tears. Bless their little hearts.

the selection committee, He can't be in the room.....I suppose one could insist there's influence exerted regardless, but someone with experience has got to be on that committee and everyone else on it has collegiate ties as well
If the Louiseville fans have a better idea, they should submit it.

Since this has been public knowledge for a long time (I think this came up LAST YEAR when he had to leave the room as CLEMSON was selected as #1 at some point), I would think that UL fans would have to be absolutely ignorant not to know this already. Oh wait...

Can ge effect other teams? Sure. But he'd have to make vaild points to sway other members or you are suggeating that the whole committee is corrupt to favor Drad and Clemson. Which is more likely?

Who cares what the Louisville board trolls think? If you want to have fun then be my guest to go over there pretending to be a D-Rad insider and post the following:
"Just wanted to let you guys know that my cousin's uncle's brother-in-law is a personal friend of D-Rad and D-Rad told him that if Louisville comes up for discussion as a potential playoff team that he will use his one silver bullet veto to deny their selection (all CFP committee members get a "silver bullet" veto). To make matters worse, Bobby Johnson, a Clemson alum and former football player is also on the committee and my sister's father-in-law was told by Bobby that he plans to ensure Louisville is ranked outside of the top 10."
Let them wallow in that for a while... OR you could just ignore those idiots by not going to their site anymore and let them wallow in their own crap.
