IRVING, Texas (AP) - The College Football Playoff management committee approved having weekly rankings again this season, but put off making a decision on how to incorporate the Army-Navy game into the final rankings when the game is played a week after selection Sunday.

The selection committee's first top 25 will be released No. 3 after the ninth week of the season. The final rankings will be released Dec. 6.

College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock said the FBS commissioners recalled the constant tweaks to the Bowl Championship Series that caused fans to lose confidence in that system and decided it was best not to tinker with the new format.

The College Football Playoff national title game will be held at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Jan. 11.
