College Football Playoff projections: Five potential sources of controversy on the eve of the first CFP rankings

Expansion of the College Football Playoff is arguably the greatest competitive change in the sport’s history — more significant than the move from the Bowl Championship Series to the four-team CFP a decade ago. Each week, the Hotline will dive into the 12-team playoff race with a look at the frontrunners, bubble teams and key developments across the landscape.

The first College Football Playoff rankings of the season will be revealed Tuesday afternoon, with controversy sure to follow.
