Tomorrow is Selection Sunday. The College Football Playoff selection committee will unveil the final rankings and full 12-team bracket on Sunday, Dec. 7, with the selection show scheduled for noon to 3 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.
The CFP rankings are a weekly top 25 list created by a selection committee to seed the 12‑team College Football Playoff and determine who makes the field.
The five highest‑ranked conference champions automatically qualify for the playoff, and the following seven highest‑ranked teams fill out the 12‑team bracket. The four highest‑ranked teams overall receive first‑round byes, while teams ranked 5‑12 play first‑round games, usually at the higher seed’s home site.
What time does the College Football Playoff bracket get revealed?
The CFP Selection Show begins at 12 p.m. ET and runs through 3 p.m. ET, when the committee’s final top 25 and the whole playoff bracket are announced. The broadcast airs exclusively on ESPN, with studio programming built around the reveal throughout the day.
Georgia dominated Alabama 28-7 in the SEC championship game, strengthening the Bulldogs’ case for a top seed in the 12-team field. In the Big 12, Texas Tech routed BYU 34-7, a performance that likely locked up a conference title, boosted the Red Raiders’ resume, and severely damaged the Cougars’ playoff hopes.
