College Football Playoff Rankings (as of December 2)
Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide remain atop the latest edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings. TCU jumps to No. 3 in the rankings, while Florida State falls to No. 4. With their loss to Ole Miss, Mississippi State falls to 10th in the rankings.
For the first time ever, a playoff system will determine the NCAA Football champion.
Four teams will qualify for a semifinal playoff and the two victors will meet in the College Football Championship Game on January 10 in Arlington, Texas.
Any FBS school is eligible for selection by a 12-person committee looking at a team's strength of schedule, head-to-head results, common opponents, championships won and other factors.
