Live updates to reveal the entire bracket on ESPN

The college football playoffs are so close that you can almost smell the overreaction coming from the football kitchen. On Tuesday there will be another aperitif to get us going until the final selection is made.

ESPN will once again broadcast the CFP rankings in a live show, broadcast live at 8:00 p.m. ET. Then everything we knew a week ago is thrown in the trash can and we can argue about the latest predictions again.

With Alabama losing to Oklahoma and Ole Miss getting punched in the gut by Florida, there are sure to be some new faces in this week’s version of the group predictions.

Keep it here for the latest news and find out how to watch the latest CFP release.

What time are the CFP rankings displayed?

The College Football Playoff rankings will be released each week via a CFP rankings show airing every Tuesday on ESPN from November 5th through December 3rd. This week’s show is scheduled to air from 8:00 p.m. ET to 9:00 p.m. ET.

How many teams are participating in the 2024 College Football Playoff?

This season, 12 teams are taking part in the College Football Playoff for the first time. College football introduced the CFP back in 2014 with a four-team format. The expansion to 12 teams is planned for the 2024 and 2025 college football seasons. Those responsible for the sport have not yet agreed to the wider scope of the playoffs at this point.

How does the College Football Playoff format work?

The 12 participating teams in the College Football Playoff round are the five highest-ranked conference champions by the CFP Selection Committee and the next highest seven teams.

The top four ranked conference champions are seeded one through four and receive a bye in the first round. The fifth conference champion will be seeded where they were ranked among the top 12 teams, or No. 12 if they are outside the top 12 in the CFP rankings. Non-conference champions placed in the top four will be seeded starting at No. 5.

“For this reason,” the CFP warns on its website, “the rankings of Nos. 1 through 12 could look different than the final ranking.”

In the first round, the higher ranked team from each pairing (5v12, 6v11, 7v10, 8v9) will serve as on-campus hosts. The winners advance to the quarterfinals and face the corresponding top four conference champion based on seeding. Quarterfinal games will be played on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in the Fiesta Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. The semifinals – played at the Orange Bowl and Cotton Bowl Classic – will take place Jan. 9-10.

The two semifinal winners will play for the national championship on January 20 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. – Mark Giannotto
