CFP rankings show how to watch: TV channel, live stream, time

The College Football Playoff selection committee is on the verge of unveiling its fifth top-25 ranking, a significant reflection of the thrilling action from the past 14 weeks.

This ranking is a pivotal milestone in the playoff rankings, offering insights into the standings of those teams still in conversations to compete for the national title as the season enters its conference championship weekend. And in the fourth of six CFP rankings, the landscape of the competition shifted dramatically.

Alabama and Ole Miss, two formidable teams, fell out of the top 12 seeds for the first time after both lost to unranked opponents. This unexpected turn of events has created opportunities for teams such as Arizona State and SMU to rise in the rankings. Meanwhile, the top four seeds — Oregon, Texas, Miami, and Boise State — remained unchanged, which set the scene for a thrilling Week 14.

The fifth CFP rankings, to be revealed in 48 hours, will be the ultimate determinant of team standings ahead of the CFP Selection show. Here is how to watch:
