The College Football Playoff Selection Committee released its first rankings of the 2025-26 season on Tuesday night, bringing both clarity and controversy to the playoff picture.
Among the notable inclusions are two Tennessee programs making their mark: the Tennessee Volunteers landed at No. 25 despite a 6-3 record, while in-state rival Vanderbilt earned a spot at No. 16 with an impressive 7-2 showing. The Commodores’ inclusion reflects their resurgent season under their coaching staff, while the Volunteers find themselves on the playoff bubble as the season enters its final stretch.
