The College Football Playoff Rankings will be revealed Tuesday night around 9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
The rankings are determined by the 11-person College Football Playoff selection committee. The final Playoff rankings will be revealed during Sunday, December 5th’s selection show.
The biggest news this week — there will be a shakeup in the Top 4. No. 3 Michigan State lost to unranked Purdue 40-29, and the Spartans will fall out of the Top 4.
Also, where will No. 6 Cincinnati be ranked after narrowly escaping Tulsa 28-20?
Below we project how the Top 25 will look. Remember, this isn’t how we would rank them; this is how we think the selection committee will rank them.
