The CFP announced on Thursday that Georgia State AD Charlie Cobb has joined the selection committee. Cobb, who has been at Georgia State since 2014, will replace former Arkansas State AD Terry Mohajir, who recently took the same position at UCF.
Mohajir had one more year remaining on his term, but Cobb will finish that out for him.
“Charlie will be a welcomed addition to our committee,” CFP executive director Bill Hancock said. “His knowledge and experience as a former student-athlete as well as his leadership of the football programs at Appalachian State and Georgia State have prepared him well for this role.”
