2019-2020 College Football Playoff Rankings: Each fall, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee meets in person to produce interim rankings before Selection Day. During each meeting, the selection committee ranks 25 teams.
The College Football Playoff selection committee ranks the teams based on the members’ evaluation of the teams’ performance on the field, using conference championships won, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and comparison of results against common opponents to decide among teams that are comparable.
The kickoff of the new year belongs to college football, with two semifinal games rotating annually among the Cotton Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Peach Bowl, Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl.
The two teams winning the playoff semifinals compete for the College Football Playoff National Championship. That game is in a different city each year, always on a Monday night.
Selection Committee Members: Rob Mullens (chair), director of athletics, University of Oregon; Gary Barta, director of athletics, University of Iowa; Frank Beamer, former head football coach, Virginia Tech; Paola Boivin, professor, Arizona State University; Joe Castiglione, director of athletics, University of Oklahoma; Ken Hatfield, former head football coach of three FBS institutions; Chris Howard, president, Robert Morris University; Ronnie Lott, former All-American, USC; Terry Mohajir, director of athletics, Arkansas State University; Ray Odierno, former chief of staff, United State Army; R.C. Slocum, interim athletics director, former head football coach, Texas A&M; Tod Stansbury, director of athletics, Georgia Tech; and Scott Stricklin, director of athletics, University of Florida.
