In the latest episode of “Calculated Risk: CFB By the Numbers”, Tyler Shoemaker (@TShoeIndex) and Kelley Ford (@KFordRatings) break down who their numbers like to win each Group of Five conference, plus some teams from each conference that might be in the mix at the end of the year.

While Kelley and Tyler both take subjectivity out of their ratings, even the objectivity can lead the guys to disagreements on certain teams (Hello, Troy and UTSA).

If you’re into power ratings, win totals and data-driven college football analysis, this is the show for you.

CFP rankings schedule released for final 4-team format

The final edition of the four-team College Football Playoff format will take place during the 2023 season.

The CFP Selection Committee met this week and released Thursday its schedule of six rankings releases for this season. The first Top 25 will be unveiled Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Selection day this season will be Dec. 3 at noon, and it will also broadcast on ESPN.

Each Tuesday in November will feature a new, updated Top 25 released by the CFP Selection Committee. This season marks the end of an era in that it will be the final year of the four-team playoff.

The 2024 season will see the CFP expand to include 12 programs. Under its current model, six conference champions will earn automatic bids to the Playoff field and the six highest ranked remaining teams will round out the field.

In light of recent conference realignment, which has seen six Pac-12 programs depart the conference for either the Big Ten or the Big 12 in the past four weeks, the 12-team CFP model may need tweaked, something that has already been discussed in preparation.

Here is the full schedule for the 2023 CFP Top 25 rankings release:

October 31 at 7 p.m. on ESPN

November 7 at 7 p.m. on ESPN

November 14 at 9 p.m. on ESPN

November 21 at 7 p.m. on ESPN

November 28 at 7 p.m. on ESPN

December 3 at noon on ESPN

There was no shortage of movement in college football this offseason and much of it is taking place in time for the 2023 season with teams moving out of the Group of Five and teams moving into it.

Many names that were near the top of the G5 standings are now gone and in their new leagues but several heavyweights remain while other teams are moving up to get into the conversation of being the best in the group of five.

Who may emerge?

Join Marc Givler and Tyler Shoemaker as they wrap up their league previews with an overall piece on teams in the G5.
