The first set of College Football Playoff rankings are just days away.
The inaugural release of the rankings for the first 12-team playoff in FBS history are Tuesday night at 7 p.m. ET. There's nothing else major going on Tuesday, right?
With the playoff expanding to 12 teams, it's important to note that the playoff bracket will not simply include the top 12 teams in the rankings. The top four seeds are saved for the four highest-ranked conference champions while the fifth-highest ranked conference champion is also guaranteed a spot.
That leaves seven at-large berths for the seven highest-ranked remaining teams in the rankings.
