It's a watershed year for college football now that the playoff format has expanded from four to 12 teams, and we'll soon have more info on where each stands in its quest for the top prize. The fifth iteration of weekly team rankings will be released Tuesday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. ET.

As a reminder, the five highest-ranked conference champs will each receive an automatic bid to playoffs; the top four will also receive a first-round bye. The remaining seven highest-ranked teams will then bring the field of contenders to 12.

The fourth round of rankings, released Tuesday, Nov. 26, saw an unchanged top four—the Oregon Ducks once again at No. 1, followed by Ohio State, Texas, and Penn State—while Indiana fell five spots to No. 10. Notre Dome, meanwhile, rose one spot from No. 6 to take its place.

As has been the case all fall, we are surely in for some big changes this round after a wild weekend of college ball that saw Michigan upset Ohio State and Miami fall to Syracuse. After this, we'll have a bit more clarity as to what to expect come the final rankings on Dec. 8.
