Latest projected 12-team playoff lineup

The College Football Playoff entered its final phase this Tuesday. This is the last time the committee will release its predictions before the final rankings on Selection Sunday.

Then we get the final round and clarity on the teams that will make up the first 12-team College Football Playoff round.

Bowl season will look very different this year, and Tuesday’s rankings showed that the likes of Miami and Ohio State offered plenty of excitement last weekend and suffered troubling losses.

Here’s everything that happened during the release of the final CFP rankings.

2024 College Football Playoff series: First teams eliminated

In the fifth and final rankings before Selection Sunday, Miami and Ole Miss were the first teams eliminated. Although both teams have a strong case for a playoff bid, neither team will be competing for their conference championship, meaning their season is likely over. It would take a massive collapse, injury, or something similar for a team with no more games left on the schedule to move up the rankings.

During the reveal show, a member of the CFP Rankings Committee noted that Alabama (3-1 vs. teams in the current rankings) has performed better against teams in the rankings than Miami (0-1 vs. teams in the current rankings), which ultimately giving them the lead in the rankings despite the three defeats in the rankings.
