Four more sets of College Football Playoff rankings will be revealed leading up to selection day and the final set of rankings, which is scheduled for Sunday, December 20. Final rankings were previously scheduled to be released on Sunday, Dec. 6, but were pushed back due to several conferences pushing back the date of their championship games to Saturday, Dec., 12 and Saturday, Dec. 18 or 19.

College Football Playoff Schedule
This is a shot in the dark guess, but I predict neither the B1G champion nor the Pac-12 champion will be invited to the CFP this year. Furthermore, my crystal ball leads me to predict 2 teams from the SEC, a team from the ACC, and a team from the Big XiII will be the invitees to the CFP.
Now, just don’t ask which teams from those conferences will make it as my crystal ball just got cloudy. Also, if ever there was a chance for 2 G5 schools to make the NY 6, this is the year. I expect this season to be a tremendous opportunity for the American conference.
