After a rare weekend of no major upsets, the College Football Playoff selection committee will release its fourth round of rankings just in time for Thanksgiving.

Week 13 was a slower one across the country, not featuring many highly anticipated matchups or heated conference games. It's expected that most top-25 rankings will remain the same, maybe with the exception of Oregon, which defeated Big Ten foe USC 42-27 Saturday.

The final week of the regular season — also known as Rivalry Week — will surely provide some drama as programs try to secure their postseason fate. Alabama-Auburn, Ohio State-Michigan, Texas-Texas A&M and Oklahoma-LSU will be amongst the games to watch out for.

How will the projected bracket look heading into the penultimate rankings release next week?

Here's everything you need to know about the College Football Playoff's fourth rankings release, including a full schedule of selection shows throughout the 2025 season.
