First up will be the weekly Coaches Poll, scheduled to be announced at or around 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, Nov. 1 after the eligible coaches get around to casting their ballots for who they believe are the 25 best teams in the country.

From there, the Associated Press will announce its official poll at or around 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, Nov. 1 after officially designated AP voters submit their ballots to be counted and sorted.

College Football Playoff rankings debut this week

For the first time this season, we’ll get a look at what the selection committee has to make of the chaos as the College Football Playoff reveals their deliberations.

While the two traditional polls come out on Sunday, we’ll have to wait a couple days for the first CFP rankings, which come out on Tuesday, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

What teams will rise in the new poll?

Georgia: The reigning SEC champs will jump after beating Florida and after the Ohio State loss.

Notre Dame: A win over Navy will further entrench the Irish in the top five going into the home test against Miami.

Utah: A dominant win at Cincinnati keeps the Utes in first place in the Big 12 heading into the Holy War game against BYU.

USC: Pollsters could give the Trojans a bump after taking down the Buckeyes.

Iowa: AP voters put the Hawkeyes at 26 last week, but they should get a promotion after shutting out Wisconsin.
