ESPN's College Football Playoff rankings show is set to return this season amid increased scrutiny over the selection process. The network announced new criteria for the rankings, aiming to address criticism from previous years. The show, which reveals the weekly top 25 teams, will feature analysis from ESPN's college football experts.
The return comes as the CFP selection committee faces pressure to provide more transparency in its decision-making. New guidelines are expected to emphasize strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and conference championships.
