It's a watershed year for college football now that the playoff format has expanded from four to 12 teams, and we'll soon have more info on where each stands in its quest for the top prize. The third iteration of weekly team rankings will be released Tuesday, Nov 19 at 7 p.m. ET.
As of Tuesday, Nov. 12, the Oregon Ducks led the pack decisively, followed by Ohio State, Texas, and Penn State. But after last weekend's shift in the status quo—when the BYU Cougars, No. 6, lost 17–13 to the unranked Kansas Jayhawks, and No. 12 Georgia handily defeated No. 7 Tennessee 31–17—we're poised for a bit of shake-up.
As a reminder, the five highest-ranked conference champs will each receive an automatic bid to playoffs; the top four will also receive a first-round bye. The remaining seven highest-ranked teams will then bring the field of contenders to 12.
Below, we've collated everything you need to know about the 2024 ranking schedule, including future release dates and how to watch.
