On Tuesday night we will see the unveiling of the first ever College Football Playoff rankings, the new format that will be replacing the BCS.

Yes, the BCS, remember that? The system that came under the scrutiny of many for its use of computer formulas? Well that’s gone now, and it will be human doings the deciding.

Some of the most well-known names in the College Football industry, 12 to be exact, will sift through the madness that has been the first nine weeks of college football to try and decide not only who the top four teams in the game are, but also the others right behind them that are hoping they can get a chance to get into the fold if some things fall their way.

So how does this committee break down? Here is a look at how each person is designated on the committee by the respective conferences they’ve been assigned:

American – Mike Gould and Pat Haden
Atlantic Coast – Tom Jernstedt and Steve Wieberg
Big Ten – Pat Haden and Condoleezza Rice
Big 12 – Barry Alvarez and Mike Tranghese
Conference-USA – Tom Osborne and Condoleezza Rice
Mid-American – Barry Alvarez and Tyrone Willingham
Mountain West – Oliver Luck and Mike Tranghese
Pac-12 – Mike Gould and Tom Osborne
Southeastern – Oliver Luck and Steve Wieberg
Sun Belt – Dan Radakovich and Tyrone Willingham
Independents – Dan Radakovich and Steve Wieberg

These members are assigned to specifically keep an eye on these particular conferences, all of who are eligible to compete for the FBS national championship.

The initial College Football Playoff rankings will be released on Tuesday night.
