OK. After getting a peek at the official College Football Playoff rankings for two weeks, we have a good baseline of how things might play out with the next announcement.

Since we like a challenge, we’ll continue to bang our heads against the proverbial wall each week after all the games and get ahead of what you might see before the next rankings on ESPN. Most days that’ll be on Tuesday, but we’ll get our final look at the CFP rankings that will determine the field on the Sunday after all the conference championship games.
