The College Football Playoff Top 25 reveal show on ESPN has set the tone for the final week of the regular season. The latest snapshot of what the selection committee is thinking is sure to spark controversy after a Saturday full of setbacks.

In the first year of the new format, the four highest-ranked conference champions will host the top four seeds, allowing them a bye to the quarterfinals hosted at one of the New Years Six bowl venues. The remaining eight bids will be filled by seven at-large qualifiers and the fifth-highest ranked conference champion. The higher seeded teams will host the lower seeded teams in the first round.

For those reasons, the College Football Playoff Top 25 doesn’t necessarily reflect the final bracket.
