This week's College Football Playoff rankings will be the most intriguing of the season after a wild Week 13. We have just one more week of the regular season and after Alabama, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M all suffered their third loss the rankings have a ton of intrigue. Following this weekend's rankings, we'll only get one more ranking before the final announcement on selection Sunday.

Here is everything you need to know about the College Football Playoff Rankings and where you can watch the rankings reveal.

When are the College Football Playoff rankings released?

While the Associated Press and the Coaches release their polls on Sunday Afternoon, the College Football Playoff Committee releases their rankings on Tuesdays from November through Selection Sunday. The following dates and times are the remaining selection shows and where they'll be streamed.

  • November 26th, 2024 - 8:00 - 9:00 PM Eastern Time on ESPN
  • December 3rd, 2024 - 7:00 - 7:30 PM Eastern Time on ESPN
  • December 8th, 2024 - 12:00 - 4:00 PM Eastern Time on ESPN (Selection Sunday)

Who gets into the College Football Playoff?

This year is the first year of the expanded College Football Playoff as we go from seeing four teams in the Playoff to Twelve. The four highest ranked Conference Champions are guaranteed the first four seeds so if the top two teams come from the SEC or the Big Ten, the highest that the team that lost the Conference Championship can be ranked is 5th.

There are seven bids given to at-large teams meaning the Committee will choose the seven best teams to fill out the Playoff meaning a team that loses the Conference Championship doesn't have its playoff hopes fully crushed.

Which Bowl Games are a part of the College Football Playoff?

The new format has added a fun wrinkle where the top four teams get a bye week while teams ranked 5th through 12th will matchup with teams ranked 5th through 8th hosting home games during the College Football Playoff opening round. In the quarter finals the traditional bowl games the Rose Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl, the Peach Bowl and the Sugar Bowl will play host to games. In the semifinal the Cotton Bowl and the Orange Bowl will be the games the remaining four teams play in.

Where will the National Championship be played?

This year the College Football National Championship game will be played in Atlanta, Georgia at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. This is the second time that the game will take place in Mercedes-Benz Stadium as the venue also hosted the 2017 game. In the 2017 National championship, Alabama beat Georgia 26-23 in overtime as Tua Tagovailoa found Devonta Smith for a touchdown on 2nd and 26. Merceds-Benz Stadium gets to double dip this season as they will also host the SEC Championship game in Atlanta as is tradition.
