Mike Riley, former head coach at Oregon State and Nebraska, is replacing Pat Chun on the College Football Playoff selection committee.
. He replaces athletic director Pat Chun, who was appointed to the 13-member committee when he was at Washington State but stepped down when he was hired for the same position at Washington.
Riley, who will serve a three-year term on the committee, was head coach at Oregon State from 1997 to 1998, and again from 2003 to 2014 before leaving for Nebraska. Riley was fired from Nebraska by former athletic director Bill Moos in November 2017, just hours after the Cornhuskers lost to Iowa 56-14 to close a 4-8 season in Lincoln, the worst at the school since 1961. Riley ended his stint at Nebraska with a 19-19 record in three seasons.
In 2018, Riley returned to Oregon State for a third stint, this time as an assistant by then-first-year head coach Jonathan Smith. He was only there for a few months because he was then hired as head coach of the San Antonio franchise of the Alliance of American Football league, which was entering its inaugural season.
They will replace former committee chair Boo Corrigan, Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart, Utah athletic director Mark Harlan, K-State athletic director Gene Taylor, Hall of Fame former coach Joe Taylor, and former Notre Dame linebacker and tight end Rod West, whose terms have expired. The CFP extended the term of former All-American Nebraska lineman Will Shields for an additional year.
