When do the first College Football Playoff rankings come out?

The 13-member College Football Playoff committee is gearing up for its first meeting next week, a momentous occasion that will mark the release of its highly anticipated first CFP ranking of the season. This ranking will serve as a crucial indicator of playoff contention, setting the stage for teams and fans alike to understand the path to securing one of the 12 coveted playoff spots.

The undefeated teams, like the Oregon Ducks, the BYU Cougars and the Miami Hurricanes, to name a few programs, have spent the past nine weeks convincing the committee they are playoff contenders. These teams have shown exceptional performance in their respective conferences, with standout players and impressive wins.

On the other hand, one-loss teams in the Georgia Bulldogs, the Tennessee Volunteers and the Texas Longhorns may claim a spot, but where will they land as they continue on thin ice and strive to avoid another loss to their record?

As we approach the end of the season, the playoff race is heating up with intriguing possibilities. Can the two-loss Alabama Crimson Tide or Ole Miss Rebels make a claim for a spot if they finish the season in a spectacular fashion? The CFP committee is faced with these and many more questions, here is how to watch the first rankings show.
