- The Miami Hurricanes claimed the top spot in the season's first College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday, Nov. 3, leading a projected 12-team field.
- As the season enters its final five weeks, this initial bracket provides a glimpse into the 12-team field, serving as the first of five committee rankings.
