College Football Rankings Overview

The rankings released by the College Football Playoff (CFP) committee set the stage for the postseason by solidifying which teams are likely to compete for the national championship. Significant movement in the rankings is less expected as the regular season concludes and conference championship games approach, laying out a clearer picture of the playoff landscape. A key focus is the 'bubble' teams, as there isn’t much room for changes, which resembles the NCAA basketball tournament scenario. Understanding the rankings is crucial, especially as discussions arise on the justification for the committee's choices.
