Week 10 marked the first college football Saturday in November for the 2025 season, and that means it's basically time for College Football Playoff rankings — and the seemingly endless debates that follow them each week, even in the 12-team format.

Going into Saturday's games, four teams had at least a 90 percent chance to make the CFP: Indiana, Texas A&M, Ohio State and Alabama. Georgia was at about 80 percent, Oregon was at about 75 percent and everyone else had less than a 70 percent chance to make it, according to ESPN's FPI and Playoff Predictor.

But every week, things can change, and projections and predictions aren't always reflected by the College Football Playoff committee.

So ahead of the first CFP rankings of the 2025 season, here's what you need to know.

When will the first CFP rankings be released in 2025?

The first College Football Playoff rankings will be announced between 8-8:45 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 4 on ESPN, which will drop all the CFP rankings. The subsequent CFP rankings will be released on:

  • November 11, 7 p.m. ET
  • November 18, 8:30 p.m. ET
  • November 25, 7 p.m. ET
  • December 2, 7 p.m. ET

And the final College Football Playoff rankings will be released on Selection Sunday on December 7 at noon ET on ESPN.

What channel are the CFP rankings released on?

As we mentioned, ESPN will broadcast the College Football Playoff rankings each Tuesday starting November 4 through Selection Sunday at noon ET on December 7.

Who is on the 2025-26 CFP committee?

If you're unhappy with the rankings or think your team should be higher, the decisions are being made by these folks this season. The 12 members of the College Football Playoff selection committee are:

  • Chris Ault
  • Troy Dannen
  • Mark Dantonio
  • Jeff Long
  • Ivan Maisel
  • Chris Massaro
