As the holidays near, we're officially entering the most exciting part of the college football season. The first College Football Playoff rankings release will drop on Tuesday.
There are just four weekends left in the regular season, which means it's crunch time for championship-hopeful programs. This first rankings release will reveal much about how the committee views each team as we head into the final stretch of the season.
So, where will the top dogs fall in the rankings? Experts project solid placements for Miami, Utah and UCLA as they're the only remaining undefeated teams. Georgia, Notre Dame, BYU, Indiana and Kentucky should all be in the running, but in what order?
Here's everything you need to know about the College Football Playoff rankings release, including a full schedule of selection shows during the 2026 season.
The first set of College Football Playoff rankings will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 3. A new set of CFP rankings will be released every Tuesday before the final list drops on Sunday, Dec. 6.
The College Football Playoff committee will release the new rankings each week on ESPN. Cord-cutters can stream the selection show on Fubo or DIRECTV , which both offer free trials for new users.
Fubo offers a free trial for new subscribers, so you can try the service before you buy. Stream ESPN, ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and 100+ top channels of live TV and sports without cable. (Participating plans only. Taxes and fees may apply.)
