re: Senator Rick Scott (FL) is mad as hell...

Some of the playoff committee members were literally politicians.

Here's your current committee.

Chris Ault, retired Nevada football coach
Mitch Barnhart, Kentucky AD
Boo Corrigan, NC State AD
Chet Gladchuck, Navy AD
Jim Grobe, retired Wake Forest football coach
Mark Harlan, Utah AD
Warde Manuel, Michigan AD
David Sayler, Miami (Ohio) AD
Will Shields, former Nebraska player
Gene Taylor, Kansas State AD
Joe Taylor, former Virginia Union AD
Rod West, former Sugar Bowl president
Kelly Whiteside, former college football reporter

None of these have held elected office. None appear to have ever sought elected office.

Of the prior members, it looks like only Condi Rice could be considered a politician and she served in an appointed position. She's also been gone since 2017.
