And just like that, we’re nearly to the end of the 2024–25 college football season.
It’s the first year of the 12-team College Football Playoff format, expanded from four teams, and it will see the five highest-ranked conference champions earn automatic playoff bids, with the seven highest-ranked remaining teams rounding out the field.
This season has held numerous surprises so far, and there are surely more to come. Preseason favorites Alabama and USC have drastically underperformed; Alabama, with two losses, is at No. 7 in the rankings, while 5–5 USC has fallen out of the rankings altogether.
The 11–0 Oregon Ducks continue to sit atop the rankings, while No. 5 Indiana remains undefeated under a first-year head coach.
Army, at 9–0, is the third and only other undefeated team in the rankings, but given that the Black Knights play in the American Athletic Conference, they sit at No. 19 in the rankings. That could change in a big way of Army is able to defeat No. 6 Notre Dame on November 23.
Let’s take a closer look at the remainder of the NCAA regular season, which ends on December 14, and preview the upcoming bowl games.
