ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips wants clarity on how two-loss Miami sits behind three-loss Alabama in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark believes his league’s champion deserves a first-round bye instead of a Group of Five team.

And while Mountain West Conference Commissioner Gloria Nevarez’s league is getting a bid and quite possibly that bye, there’s concern about any future with bigger leagues getting designated numbers of bids.

Those scenarios illustrate how, as the Big Ten and SEC conferences position themselves as a Power Two from overflowing coffers to gobbling up CFP bids, the other leagues are trying to maintain footing and avoid getting squeezed. That includes Sunday’s unveiling of the expanded 12-team field and beyond.

During the four-hour show on ESPN, the 12 CFP teams, the bracket and the CFP selection committee’s final Top 25 rankings will be revealed.

Here’s what you need to know:

• College Football Playoff rankings and brackets to be revealed within the show’s first 30 minutes
• Kirk Herbstreit, Joey Galloway, Booger McFarland and Greg McElroy join host Rece Davis again for the exclusive bracket and rankings reveal, with first-time addition of Nick Saban rounding out the group
• Coaches and other guests are also expected to join
• CFP insiders Pete Thamel and Heather Dinich will also join, with Dinich live from the CFP Selection Committee headquarters

• Alabama: Laura Rutledge
