A revolving door.

I get a feeling the committee wants another SEC team and they want Bama. Just my gut.

If you really think about this, anytime this word appears ("selection") in the middle of the Playoff committee, the emphasis seems to be on the committee members themselves (13 in this case) instead of the teams.
