It's conference championship week, and that means there's only one final College Football Playoff rankings release before the bracket is cemented for good.

Rivalry week brought some upsets across the country, the most notable being No. 16 Texas defeating No. 3 Texas A&M and knocking the Aggies out of the SEC championship game. There will now be two top-10 showdowns in title games this weekend, with Georgia and Alabama and undefeated Ohio State and Indiana going head-to-head.

Outside of the Big Ten and SEC, fans are in for a treat this weekend. Texas Tech and BYU are set to fight for a Big 12 title, and Virginia will take on a five-loss Duke squad for the ACC crown.

Here's everything you need to know about the fifth College Football Playoff rankings release, including a full schedule of selection shows throughout the 2025 season.
