The College Football Playoff selection committee is poised to announce its fifth top-25 ranking, a clear reflection of the exciting action of the past 14 weeks.

These rankings are a key milestone in the playoff rankings and provide insight into the rankings of teams still in the conversation for the national title as the season enters its conference championship weekend. And in the fourth of six CFP rankings, the competitive landscape changed dramatically.

Alabama and Ole Miss, two formidable teams, fell out of the top 12 seeds for the first time after both lost to unranked opponents. This unexpected turn of events has created opportunities for teams like Arizona State and SMU to move up the rankings. Meanwhile, the top four seeds – Oregon, Texas, Miami and Boise State – remained unchanged, setting the stage for an exciting Week 14.

The fifth CFP rankings, which will be announced within 48 hours, will be crucial to team placement before the CFP Selection Show. Here’s how you can watch:
