I thought I would add this former post since your thread title is more appropriate. Possible replacements for Pat Haden.
I would look at the following for the CFP:
Paul Finebaum-extremely pragmatic & calls it like he sees it
Calvin Hill-former Cowboys RB & Yale grad with no dog in fight
Jerry Rice-NFL WR great & Miss. Valley State grad-no dog
Howie Long-NFL great & Villanova grad-no dog
Ed Marinaro-Cornell RB great & actor-no dog
Brett Favre-All Pro QB Legend & Southern Miss grad-no dog
Mike Mayweather-Army All American RB 1990-no dog
Holly Rowe-Sports reporter & football junkie & Utah grad
This is just a few ideas & I'm trying to get away from any possible homers like former players of any major conference, AD's, or others. There are plenty of former players, coaches, sports reporters/broadcasters who are not affiliated with a major conference or team.
