Football fans have been looking out for the expanded College Football Playoff permutations as the season has entered its home stretch. This season's playoffs will feature 12 teams up from the four teams from the past few years.

After last season's controversies, when two one-loss teams, the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Texas Longhorns, made the playoffs over unbeaten Atlantic Coast Conference champions, the Florida State Seminoles, this season's expanded playoffs will be a relief.

So, when does the College Football Playoff committee release the season's first rankings?

Predicted top teams in College Football Playoff rankings

There are still six unbeaten teams in college football, but anything can happen with a week's round of games still to be played. The expanded College Football Playoff will include the five highest-ranked conference champions and the seven highest-ranked teams.

Coach Dan Lanning's Oregon Ducks top the latest AP Top 25 weekly rankings ahead of coach Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs and coach Steve Sarkisian's Texas Longhorns. They are the early favorites for the playoffs in December.

College Football Playoff executive director Rich Clark outlined the criterion for considering teams for the expanded playoff structure on a conference call with the media this week.

"I don't think a team would be unduly penalized if they lost in a conference championship game," Clark said. "[Rematches] are going to happen."

This season's College Football Playoff rankings will have more interested parties, as several fans are concerned about their team's prospects of making the expanded iteration of the marquee event.
