How to watch tonight's College Football Playoff rankings show

Another Tuesday means it's time for the latest edition of the College Football Playoff rankings. While the AP Poll still comes out every Sunday, those rankings don't mean anything anymore now that the CFP is releasing their rankings.

The CFP rankings are the only thing that determines who makes it into the first edition of the 12-team College Football Playoff, so it is crucial for Georgia to find themselves inside the top 12 this week.

Georgia's win against Tennessee this past weekend should help the Bulldogs move up in this week's rankings, but this committee has shown already this year that you never know what they're going to do. But hopefully they will respect the resume that Kirby Smart and Georgia have built to this point and move UGA comfortably in the 12-team field.

Here is all the information you need to know to watch the latest release of the College Football Playoff rankings.

When?

The updated College Football Playoff rankings will be released Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7:00 pm EST.

How to Watch?

The CFP rankings will be released on ESPN.

Georgia's history in the College Football Playoff rankings

Tuesday marks the third edition of this season's College Football Playoff rankings. Two weeks ago when the first rankings were released, Georgia football found themselves as the No. 3 team in the country. However, after losing to Ole Miss, Georgia shockingly fell all the way down to No. 12 in last week's ranking. This put Georgia outside of the 12-team CFP field by one spot.

What's at stake for Georgia?

After beating Tennessee this weekend, it is likely that Georgia should move up the rankings. As long as Georgia moves up one spot, they will once again be inside the 12-team CFP field.

Georgia still has an outside chance to make the SEC Championship game and earn the conference's automatic bid, but at the end of the day all that really matters is Georgia making it into the 12-team field.

If Georgia is unable to win the SEC and get the conference's automatic top four seed, the next goal would be to earn a seed between five and eight. These four teams will host their first round playoff game on their home field, which is a big advantage to having to play on the road.

So hopefully the committee finally respects Georgia's resume and moves them up their rankings. If Georgia does move up, all they need to do is win their final two regular season games and they should be comfortably in the playoff.
