When are College Football Playoff rankings released? What to know

Week 13 of college football saw strong contenders' fall and surprise fighters' rise, a shift that will be evident in the fourth College Football Playoff rankings.

After Week 12, the third set of College Football Playoff rankings was a pivotal moment, revealing which teams would potentially be in and out of the newly formatted 12-team playoff bracket. This expansion from the previous four-team format is a game-changer, allowing more teams to compete for a chance to enter the playoffs and pursue the national championship.

Powerhouse Big Ten Oregon, a force to be reckoned with, secured the top seed in the rankings for the third consecutive week. Texas, a fierce competitor, claimed the No. 2 seed, while Miami and Boise State, both known for their tenacity, rounded out the top four seeds of the projected bracket. However, these rankings are likely to change based on the outcomes of Week 13, showcasing the unpredictability in college football.

Most notably, No. 5 Indiana was demolished by No. 2 Ohio State. Will Indiana remain in the top-12? Will Army, after suffering a devastating loss to Notre Dame, their first of the season, remain ranked? How close will Ole Miss remain to the top-12 after their loss to Florida?

Here is a guide to watching the fourth of six College Football Playoff rankings shows, which will be broadcast on Tuesday. These weekly broadcasts reveal each team's ranking and establish the playoff bracket.
