College Football Playoff rankings show: Live coverage, updates, bracket reveal

play

The College Football Playoffs are drawing near, and we have yet another round of exciting rankings to be released Tuesday on ESPN.

There is plenty of intrigue for teams across the upper echelon of the US LBM Coaches Poll. Last week, the committee doled out byes to Oregon (No. 1 in the US LBM Coaches Poll), No. 3 Texas, No. 10 Miami and No. 15 BYU.

No. 13 Boise State would punch their ticket to the dance as the fifth highest ranked conference champion and would earn the No. 12 seed. But that was last week.

Now we get some more food for thought as the committee delivers its third ranking of the season. Here is everything you need to know about the CFP rankings and live updates for the latest release.

The third College Football Playoff rankings of the 2024 season will be released Tuesday, Nov. 19. A new top 25 ranking is released by the CFP selection committee every Tuesday through Dec. 3. This is followed by a CFP selection show on Dec. 8 to announce the 12-team playoff field.

Here is the schedule for the College Football Playoff rankings show. All times are Eastern:

  • Ranking 3: Tuesday, Nov. 19, 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.
  • Ranking 4: Tuesday, Nov. 26, 8 p.m. – 9 p.m.
  • Ranking 5: Tuesday, Dec. 3, 7 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
  • Selection Day: Sunday, Dec. 8, noon – 4 p.m.

The College Football Playoff rankings are released each week through a CFP rankings show broadcasted by ESPN every Tuesday, from Nov. 5 through Dec. 3. This week’s show is slated to air starting at 7 p.m. ET and ending at 8 p.m. ET.

The College Football Playoff rankings show will air on ESPN, with the broadcast starting at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 19. Fans can also stream the show on Fubo, which is offering a free trial.

This season, there are 12 teams in the College Football Playoff for the first time. College football previously introduced the CFP in 2014 with a four-team format. The expansion to 12 teams is set in place for the 2024 and 2025 college football seasons. Leaders within the sport have not agreed to the framework of the playoff beyond that at this point.

The 12 participating teams in the College Football Playoff bracket will be the five conference champions ranked highest by the CFP selection committee, and the next seven highest-ranked teams.

The four highest-ranked conference champions will be seeded one through four and receive a first-round bye. The fifth conference champion will be seeded where it was ranked among the top 12 teams, or at No. 12 if it is outside the top 12 in the CFP rankings. Non-conference champions ranked in the top four will be seeded beginning at No. 5.

“Because of this,” the CFP warns on its website, “the seeding, 1 through 12, could look different than the final rankings.”

For the first round, the higher-ranked team in each pairing (5 vs. 12, 6 vs. 11, 7 vs. 10, 8 vs. 9) will serve as host on campus. The winners advance to the quarterfinals and match up with the corresponding top-four conference champion based on seeding. Quarterfinal games will played at the Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. The semifinals – played at the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl Classic – will take place Jan. 9-10.

The two semifinal winners will play for the national championship Jan. 20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. – Mark Giannotto
