Believe it or not, the 2025 college football season is on to Week 11. As a pivotal Week 11 slate awaits, the first College Football Playoff rankings are set to be announced on Tuesday night. The AP Poll and coaches poll have been the main measuring sticks up to this point of the season, but from here on out the CFP rankings are all that matter.

In the second year of the expanded 12-team playoff, it's important to remember that this year's playoff format is slightly different than last year's. Instead of the conference champions being seeded 1-4, this year's playoff will have a straight seeding format.

Tuesday's CFP rankings reveal will be broadcast on ESPN starting at 8 p.m. ET. ESPN and YouTubeTV are still in a contract dispute, which means that the CFP reveal show won't be available on YouTubeTV. It will instead be available on the ESPN app, as well as Fubo as Hulu.
- Time: 8 p.m. ET

After Tuesday's opening rankings, the CFP rankings will be revealed every Tuesday night from now until December 2. The final CFP selection show is set for Sunday, December 7, which will determine the 12 teams that qualify for the 2025 College Football Playoff.
Already with three losses, the LSU Tigers most likely won't be featured in the first CFP rankings of the season. However, Tiger fans will still be interested to see where LSU's rivals and opponents stack up. Most notably, LSU fans will be eager to see where the Alabama Crimson Tide are ranked, given that LSU and Bama are set to meet this weekend in Tuscaloosa. Frank Wilson has a chance to pull off a major upset in his first game as interim head coach, as the Tigers are currently 10.5-point underdogs.
