The 2024 college football season kicks off soon. Florida State and Georgia Tech meet in Ireland on Aug. 24, headlining Week 0. The full kickoff of the season is Week 1, played out over Labor Day Weekend.
The Associated Press released its preseason Top 25 earlier this week. The AP Top 25 will serve as the ranking of record for the first few weeks of the season, but down the stretch, all eyes will be on the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings.

This year’s committee is made up of Chris Ault (former head coach and athletics director, University of Nevada), Chet Gladchuk (athletics director, U.S. Naval Academy), Jim Grobe (former head coach, Ohio University, Wake Forest and Baylor), Warde Manuel (chair) (athletics director, Michigan), Randall McDaniel (College and Pro Football Hall of Fame member and former All-American offensive lineman, Arizona State ); Gary Pinkel (former head coach, Toledo and Missouri); Mack Rhoades (athletics director, Baylor); Mike Riley (former college head coach, Oregon State and Nebraska), David Sayler (athletics director, Miami Ohio), Will Shields (College and Pro Football Hall of Fame member and former All-American offensive lineman, Nebraska), Kelly Whiteside (sportswriter, USA Today, Sports Illustrated and Newsday), Carla Williams (athletics director, Virginia) and Hunter Yurachek (athletic director, Arkansas). Manuel is entering his first season as committee chair.
The CFP announced the schedule for rankings reveals on Thursday.
The first reveal is set for Nov. 5. Football fans tired of politics will likely enjoy having something else to watch on Election Day.
The second poll does not have a firm start time, as it will be revealed live on ESPN during halftime of the State Farm Champions Classic college basketball double-header.
Selection Sunday this year is on Dec. 8.
Here’s the full schedule of rankings reveals:
