Set your calendars for weekly debates over rankings, again.

As things move toward some semblance of normalcy in college football, the College Football Playoff ranking dates are another element that college football fans have grown accustomed to the last several years.

The CFP selection committee on Monday said that it will begin its weekly rankings for the 2020-21 season Tuesday, November 17, executive director Bill Hancock announced.

The top four teams will play the semifinals on Friday, January 1, in the Rose Bowl Game and the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

The national championship game will be played Monday, January 11, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla. The committee on Dec. 20 will also announce the matchups for the Goodyear Cotton Bowl, PlayStation Fiesta Bowl and Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.

The final rankings were originally scheduled to be released on Dec. 6. Earlier this month the CFP Management Committee changed the final announcement date as a result of conferences having changed the dates of their championship games.

Below is a complete schedule for the selection committee to announce its rankings on ESPN:

  • Tuesday, November 17
  • Tuesday, November 24
  • Tuesday, December 1
  • Tuesday, December 8
  • Tuesday, December 15
  • Sunday, December 20 (Selection Day)
