College Football Playoff top 25 reveal free live stream (11/28): Where will Alabama land?
As college football heads into conference championship Saturday this week, the latest College Football Playoff Top 25 poll will be revealed Tuesday, Nov. 28. The broadcast will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial), fuboTV (free trial) and SlingTV (half off first month).
The intrigue is building. No. 2 Michigan’s 30-24 win over No. 3 Ohio State will bounce the Buckeyes from the top 4, but how far will Ryan Day’s team fall?
Meanwhile, No. 1 Georgia took down Georgia Tech on Saturday 31-23 but will it be enough to hold off Michigan for the top spot.
Undefeated No. 4 Florida State defeated Florida, while No. 5 Oregon, No. 6 Washington and No. 7 Texas all got wins over the weekend. That doesn’t bode well for No. 8 Alabama, which got a miraculous game-winning play on fourth-and-31 to beat Auburn 27-24.
When is CFP Playoff: Top 25?
The College Football Playoff: Top 25 show is set for 6 p.m. (7 p.m. ET) on Tuesday, Nov. 28.
