College Football Playoff Rankings: First 2024 CFP Release For CFB
*UPDATED: Friday, November 5, 2024 at 7:27 PM ET
We’ve finally made it, folks. We discussed the 2024 CFP picture last week and tonight, we finally get the first edition of 2024 CFP rankings. This article will be updated immediately following the CFP release with the current College Football Playoff rankings.
For now though, other than Oregon being the first overall seed, and then being accompanied by the other first-place conference teams behind them, there’s actually a bit of a mystery as to how the festivities will play out.
Add in the fact that this is the inaugural 12-team CFP, and things could look a whole lot different when it’s all said and done that some people may realize. However tonight shakes out, we’re here to provide the landscape of the nation heading into this CFP reveal, and then, like stated above, we’ll make updates when the actual rankings get announced.
Current NCAA Football Rankings: AP Top 25
To give some background, we’ll first lay out the current CFB AP Top 25. This will obviously look much different than the CFP rankings, but it gives us a general idea of who might be slotted where:
- 1 Oregon (62); 9-0
- 2 Georgia; 7-1
- 3 Ohio State; 7-1
- 4 Miami (FL); 9-0
