The college football season is in full swing and it is time to start making the push to the College Football Playoff. On Tuesday, October 30 we will get our first look at how college football’s final four could shape up when the College Football Playoff selection committee announces its first playoff rankings of the season. The rankings will be unveiled live on ESPN during a College Football Playoff: Top 25 special for the fifth consecutive season.
Rece Davis will host the show, joined by Kirk Herbstreit, Joey Galloway, Jesse Palmer, David Pollack, Paul Finebaum, and Chris Fowler.
Immediately following the rankings, there will be an interview with College Football Playoff committee chair Rob Mullens, reactions from coaches across the country, and instant analysis from the show’s panel.
