Where does that leave things as we move into the next rankings selection process and as we draw closer to Selection Sunday?

How does the College Football Playoff work?

The new 12-team College Football Playoff will feature the top-four conference champions, all of which will receive automatic bids as the Nos. 1-4 seeds.

Those top four teams will receive a first-round bye and automatically advance to the quarterfinals.

The other eight ranked teams will compete for positions among the Nos. 5-12 seeds in the bracket and will play their games on the home field of the higher-ranked team.

The committee selects the 12 best teams in the country using a process that aims to distinguish teams from each other by considering the following:

Strength of schedule
Head-to-head competition
Outcomes vs. common opponents
Other relevant factors, like availability of player, coach
