We are one day away from the first unveiling of the College Football Playoff selection committee’s rankings for the new 12-team bracket on Tuesday. Anticipation for the teams and fan bases in the hunt is at an all-time high as we begin what will be a hectic and glorious month of football until the final field is announced on Sunday, Dec. 8.
To make sense of it all and to get a little bold with predictions, join our very own David Ubben, Ralph Russo and Damien Harris this upcoming Monday at 6 p.m. ET LIVE on the Until Saturday YouTube channel and our social feeds. We will be having a little fun and not merely discussing the teams we think are going to be in the top 12 of the first rankings but flipping our predictions forward to who we think will make the final field on Dec. 8 with a bracket challenge.
And what’s even more fun? We are asking all of YOU, our readers, to enter in your own predictions for the first ever College Football Playoff Bracket Challenge with a chance for the top three scores to win a free year subscription or extension to The Athletic (details for the terms listed in the form).
How does it work? Simply fill out the form below for who you think will be the final 12 teams when the College Football Playoff field is announced on Dec. 8. We will keep a simple scoring system:
- 1 point for each team you get in the field
- 3 points for getting a team in the field in the right seed
- Tiebreaker: Guess the total points scored in SEC Championship game
- Second Tiebreaker: Guess the total points scored in Big 10 Championship game
And don’t forget, join us LIVE this upcoming Monday, Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. ET as we kick off the challenge with David, Ralph and Damien’s predictions and brackets.
