The inaugural College Football Playoff rankings for the 2026 season were released on Wednesday, with the Miami Hurricanes claiming the top spot. The rankings, unveiled by the CFP selection committee, place Miami ahead of the field, while traditional powers Notre Dame and Ohio State find themselves outside the top 10.
The release comes ahead of a pivotal Week 10 slate that could significantly reshuffle the rankings. Senior writer Nick Bromberg noted that the early rankings are likely to shift as conference play intensifies. The next set of rankings will be issued following the weekend's games.
