Why can't unbeaten James Madison appear in the CFP rankings? It's not an option for the Dukes

The College Football Playoff rankings will be released for the first time this season on Tuesday night and there is one unbeaten team guaranteed to be left out of the selection committee's top 25. James Madison (8-0), ranked No. 23 in the AP Top 25, is ineligible for postseason play as it completes an NCAA-required transition period to the highest level of Division I football, the Bowl Subdivision. Since the CFP rankings are solely to determine postseason assignments for two playoff games and four marquee bowls, the Dukes are ineligible to be ranked.
