College Football Playoff releases rankings schedule for 2021

Some notable dates and times to keep in mind … Will Ohio State be in the mix again?

The College Football Playoff announced its rankings schedule on Friday and it looks like it’ll be a much more normal schedule than what we saw last season during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a reminder, the selection committee does not rank teams until well into the season to allow teams to build a body of work. In this case, the first set of deliberations and rankings will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 2. That is after game No. 8 vs. Penn State for Ohio State. Five additional rankings will follow with the last on Dec. 5, selection Sunday, one day after the Big Ten Championship game on Dec. 4.

The complete list and times of the rankings reveal by the playoff selection committee:

Date
Time
Tuesday, November 2
7 – 8 p.m. ET
Tuesday, November 9
9 – 9:30 p.m. ET*
Tuesday, November 16

Tuesday, November 23

Tuesday, November 30

It’s another year in which Ohio State is expected to be in the mix for all the College Football Playoff hoopla, so keeping these dates and times handy might be a good thing.
