Now we head into conference championship weekend knowing who’ll play for each league title and awaiting Tuesday night’s College Football Playoff rankings reveal to set the table for the final Saturday.
We’ve updated each of the below top-25 rankings as they’ve released. Explanations for each of these rankings are below the table.

The Playoff committee’s rankings come out Tuesday. Here are a bunch of other rankings, as they come out:

The key thing, but not out until Tuesday nights around 7:10 p.m. ET. They’ll be in a separate post. Until they come, all the rest of this stuff is the best we’ve got.
The historical gold standard of human polls. Releases Sundays at 2 p.m. ET.
SB Nation’s favored college football advanced stat, which tends to perform well against the Vegas spread, along with offering much deeper evaluations of teams. Usually releases Sunday afternoon.
Every poll and rating smashed into one continually updating ranking, more or less. Yep, there are dozens and dozens of weekly CFB rankings! We’ll update it a couple times throughout Sunday.
A long-running computer ranking that also includes FCS teams. Usually releases early Sunday.
Doesn’t matter much, and often is more a poll of PR directors than actual coaches. Releases around noon ET on Sundays.
