The College Football Playoff Selection Committee will release its final rankings for the 2024 season at noon ET on Sunday, Dec. 8. The unveiling of the rankings will be televised on ESPN.
The College Football Playoff will feature 12 teams for the first time this season and will include at least one Group of Five program.
The five highest-ranked conference champions in the FBS – decided by the CFP selection committee – will make the field, as well as the next seven highest-ranked teams.
The four conference title winners ranked the highest will earn a bye, while the remaining squads will compete in the first round.
The higher seeds in those matchups will host in the opening round. The top-four conference winners with the bye will be given a bowl game, like the Sugar Bowl, and the four teams playing in the two semifinal games will also be assigned to another bowl.
