Rivalry Week was a celebration of chaos in the world of college football, both on and off the field.

Chaos spread from the stands to the gridiron as some of the sport’s most prominent institutions fell victim to setbacks and stupor. Ohio State lost. Clemson fell. Miami faltered. Tulane had a crater.

Unsurprisingly, these results caused a lot of excitement in the final round of the College Football Playoff poll. With the conference championships coming up next week, the chaos has just begun. When the dust settles, who knows where the country’s outstanding teams will end up.

Follow below as The Sporting News tracks the latest reveal of the 2024 College Football Playoff brackets.

Here’s how the new College Football Playoff format will work in 2024

The new CFP format consists of 12 teams. Automatic bids will be made to the top four conference champions, who will automatically be seeded 1-4 regardless of playoff rankings. The remaining eight spots include at least six overall contenders and then the top two ranked remaining conference champions.

So it could be seven overall offers and then another conference winner, or just eight overall offers. The CFP Committee will determine the exact division of the field. At least this new format guarantees that at least one Group 5 team will make the field.

Here’s a look at how the College Football Playoff seedings will shape up:

First round

• #1 Team (Bye)
• Team #2 (Bye)
• Team #3 (Bye)
• #4 Team (Bye)
• Team #12 at Team #5
• Team #11 at Team #6
• Team #10 at Team #7
• Team #9 at Team #8

Quarterfinals

• Team #1 vs. Team #8/9
• Team #2 vs. Team #7/10
• Team #3 vs. Team #6/11
• Team #4 vs. Team #5/12
