Here's how the 2025-26 College Football Playoff bracket looks, using the CFP selection committee's fifth top 25 rankings as announced on Tuesday, Dec. 2.
This is not the final, official CFP bracket, which won't be revealed until Sunday, Dec. 7. The bracket below is just how the CFP bracket would look based on the most recent CFP rankings.
This bracket uses the fifth selection committee top 25 rankings from Tuesday, Dec. 2. That means the next rankings reveal will be when we get the official College Football Playoff bracket on Sunday, Dec. 7.
The top 25 ranking does not always match the seed in the playoff, as the five highest-ranked conference champions get in automatically, even if they are ranked behind teams in the top 25 or not ranked in the top 25 at all.
Bracket matchups:
No. 12 fifth-highest ranked conference champion at No. 5 Oregon
Winner vs. No. 4 Texas Tech in the quarterfinals
No. 9 Alabama at No. 8 Oklahoma
Winner vs. No. 1 Ohio State in the quarterfinals
No. 11 fourth highest-ranked conference champion at No. 6 Ole Miss
Winner vs. No. 3 Georgia in the quarterfinals
No. 10 Notre Dame at No. 7 Texas A&M
Winner vs. No. 2 Indiana in the quarterfinals
