When College Football Rankings Come Today: Week 11’s New Top 25, Explained

Poll release schedule

The weekly Coaches Poll is scheduled to appear around 1 p.m. Eastern on Sunday, Nov. 8. Eligible coaches will submit ballots ranking their choices for the country’s 25 best teams.

The Associated Press poll is expected around 2 p.m. Eastern that day, after designated voters submit their ballots. The next College Football Playoff rankings will follow Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 8 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

Georgia and Notre Dame rise

Georgia beat Ole Miss 42-7, and Miami also lost. Those results could move the Bulldogs into the No. 1 spot in the new rankings. Notre Dame’s home win over the No. 1 Hurricanes should strengthen the Irish’s position inside the playoff bracket, according to the article.

Several teams face setbacks

Ohio State may be among the week’s biggest ranking losers after a home defeat to Oregon. It was the Buckeyes’ third loss of the year and their second in a row, raising questions about their playoff chances.

Miami lost by seven on the road to a Notre Dame team ranked in the AP top five, and may remain in the top five itself. Ole Miss could drop after scoring seven points while allowing 42 to Georgia.

More teams could fall

Florida lost 23-7 at Oklahoma and is expected to leave the rankings; the selection committee is also expected to place the Gators outside its poll. BYU and Kentucky could also slide after losing at Utah and Tennessee, respectively. Those defeats dealt setbacks to their postseason hopes.
