It's that time of year again when college football fans are hopeful and wondering if their favorite team can secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. This year, however, there are even more than usual. With the expanded format comes tons of new schools and fan bases eager to find out where they stand in the eyes of the selection committee.

Well, we're just moments away from finding out exactly that. While top teams like Oregon, Georgia, Miami and Ohio State don't have much to worry about so far, there are plenty of bubble teams worried about being ranked outside the top 12.

Each of the top four spots will be awarded to the highest-ranked conference champion. They all also receive a bye for the first round.

The fifth seed conference champion is also guaranteed a spot in the CFP, but is not guaranteed the No. 5 seed. Essentially, the 5th through 12th seeds are the top-ranked non-conference champions, seeded based on their final rankings.
