ESPN has revealed details about when fans will find out the CFP bracket. Although the show lasts four hours from noon to 4 p.m. ET, the CFP Top 25 rankings and rankings will be announced within the first 30 minutes.

The main reporting group is led by Rece Davis with Kirk Herbstreit, Joey Galloway, Booger McFarland and Greg McElroy. Nick Saban, Pete Thamel and Heather Dinich, as well as reporters at team locations, will also be involved.

The College Football Playoff has been around since the 2014 season, but this year it has a new look. The CFP has expanded from four to twelve teams, meaning there are now automatic qualifiers, free spins and more chances for teams to make the field. Here is a quick guide:

• The five conference champions rated highest by the selection committee automatically participate
• The remaining seven teams in the 12-team field will be the next best seven teams
• Four of these automatically qualified players receive byes into the quarterfinals and are seeded numbers 1-4. The fifth-highest ranked conference champion will be seeded where they were placed, or No. 12 if outside the top 12 rankings
• The No. 5-12 seeded teams play in the first round, with the higher seeds hosting (No. 12 at No. 5, No. 11 at No. 6, No. 10 at No. 7 and No. 9 at No. 8.)
