The din of the past weekend dims to a dull roar on this Tuesday as both college football’s Week 12 and the National Football League’s Week 11 come to an official close, leaving football fans a few days until their next gridiron fix.

In the meantime, the first official College Football Playoff rankings will be released tonight by the CFP selection committee, with the Florida Gators expected to be in the mix. Several questions loom as the committee sets the tone for the rest of the regular season and those questions are addressed by USA TODAY Sports.

As far as other Gators sports, women’s basketball tip off their season tomorrow against Grambling State University in the O’Connell Center. The first game of the season starts at 1 p.m. EST.

Here is the rest of the news from around the Gator Nation.
