When are College Football Playoff rankings released? What to know
The 2024 college football season has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with major upsets and surprise victories keeping fans on the edge of their seats. As we head into the final month of action, the unpredictability continues and the College Football Playoff race is heating up.
Several teams have remained undefeated, including the Oregon Ducks and the Miami Hurricanes. These teams are not just performing well, they are performing exceptionally, and if they continue to impress, they will likely secure a berth in the College Football Playoff, sparking excitement among fans.
Teams like the Texas Longhorns, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Georgia Bulldogs, each with one loss, are feeling the pressure. In a typical season, they wouldn't worry before the rankings are released. But this season is different. These powerhouse teams have all experienced a loss and must perform at the highest level during the final stretch of the season.
Teams like the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Tennessee Volunteers, which have experienced multiple surprising losses, are now in a crucial phase. They will be hoping for the top-ranked teams to falter while they work to avoid another defeat themselves. Despite having two losses, the Crimson Tide can still compete for one of the 12 spots in the College Football Playoff.
