Year three of COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff rankings will unofficially begin Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, when COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff Top 25 returns to look at the road to college football's championship game. Airing Tuesday nights throughout the fall, the one-hour show will review teams' wins and losses each week and the potential implications on their post-season hopes.

Hosted by Rece Davis with analysts Kirk Herbstreit, Joey Galloway, Danny Kanell, David Pollack and Paul Finebaum appearing in studio and via satellite, the first three weeks will preview top teams and rankings. Then, on November 1, and each Tuesday thereafter, the COLLEGE FOOTBALL Playoff Committee's weekly Top 25 rankings will be exclusively revealed at the top of the show followed by a live interview with committee chairman Kirby Hocutt, who will provide insights into the committee's decisions, as well as by coaches reacting to their team's rankings.
