Where can I watch College Football Playoff rankings show? What you need to know
The 2024 college football season has been a rollercoaster of unpredictability, with each week bringing major upsets and surprising victories. It's also made the competition for a spot in the College Football Playoff all the more tense as we head into the final stretch of the season.
After Week 12, the third set of CFP rankings in the newly formatted 12-team playoff bracket was unveiled. This expansion, from the previous four-team format, allows more teams to compete for a spot in the playoff and a shot at winning a national championship.
Big Ten powerhouse Oregon secured the top seed in the bracket for the third consecutive week. Texas was ranked No. 3 but moved up to the No. 2 seed as the projected winner of the SEC. Miami, slotted in at No. 8 in the rankings, took the No. 3 seed as the projected winner of the ACC. But the biggest gainer in the bracket was Boise State out of the Mountain West. The Broncos moved up from No. 12 in rankings to the No. 4 seed, earning the final first-round bye.
However, it's a new week. With losses from teams like Indiana and Ole Miss, we could see a massive shift in the top-12 heading into next week.
Here's a guide for watching the fourth of six College Football Playoff rankings shows. These weekly shows reveal each team's rankings and establish the playoff bracket.
