The 2025 college football season will get a major jolt of drama Tuesday night when the first College Football Playoff rankings of the year are unveiled on ESPN at 8 p.m. ET.
Will the SEC take over the upper half of the selection committee’s Top 25 much like it has the AP and coaches polls? How will the ACC and Big 12 stack up against their stronger Power 4 counterparts? What at-large debates will we already be raging about? Some—though definitely nowhere near all—of these questions will be answered Tuesday.
Watch below as Pat Forde and Bryan Fischer do their best to sort through the noise and politicking.
