The NCAA has become a brave new world when it comes to football as the BCS is gone and replaced with the The College Football Playoff selection committee Top 25. The committee has placed their guidelines down for who will and won’t be eligible to be in the national championship and how voting will be handled.

Weekly rankings will be released from the committee starting Oct. 28 and will meet once a week until the final rankings before the national championship. Some rules that came out of the groups perimeters were that a committee member who is currently employed at a university cannot vote for that school. There are five current athletic directors that are a part of the committee and will have to work around the rules.

The plan to release weekly rankings came from the panel themselves, citing that they didn't think they would be doing their duty if they weren't releasing rankings more frequently. Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long spoke about the decision to make the rankings weekly.

"We felt we wouldn't be meeting our responsibility. Once we made a ranking, we felt then we needed to make them weekly. That's what the fans have become accustomed to, and we felt it would leave a void in college football without a ranking for several weeks.”

Guidelines that came out of the panel’s meetings include:
- A committee member who is currently employed or compensated by a school, or who has an immediate family member at a school, will not be allowed to vote for that school.
- All votes are done by secret ballot.
- Each voter submits a top 25 and a point system is used to determine the final order. Twenty-five points goes to a team with a first-place vote, down to one point for 25th place.
- Selection committee rankings will start during the season, but the first one will come out a week later than the BCS usually did.
