Where can I watch College Football Playoff rankings show? What you need to know

The College Football Playoff committee is poised to release its fifth top-25 ranking that will determine the best teams from the first 14 weeks of the season. This ranking is of utmost importance for the new 12-team playoff format, as it will provide crucial insights into the standings of teams still in contention for the national title as the season enters its final weeks.

The terrain of the College Football Playoff bracket underwent a dramatic shift after Week 12, as the fourth rankings revealed. Both Alabama and Ole Miss found themselves outside the top 12 seeds for the first time this season after losses to unranked opponents while Notre Dame, SMU and Arizona State made significant strides in the rankings. The top four seeds — Oregon, Texas, Miami and Boise State — remained unchanged heading into Week 14. Although there will be a shift following Miami's loss to Syracuse.

The fifth College Football Playoff rankings will be released later today, indicating how teams stand heading into Week 15. Here is how to catch the rankings show:
