On Tuesday, we’ll finally know where each team really stands as the College Football Playoff committee releases their first rankings of the 2021 season.

There are a handful of undefeated teams left in the Power Five and one big Group of 5 player in Cincinnati. Many of the seeming elite teams still have flaws, so it will be a challenge for the CFP committee to properly rank all of these teams.

What we do know is that they do try to prioritize the eye test, head-to-head matchups, and, of course, overall record — though not always in that order.

With that in mind, this is what we’re predicting we’ll see on Tuesday night’s unveiling.
