Initial 2020 AP Top 25 Polls Released

No surprise, NU not part of the top 25. We were slated to play 2 top 10 5 top 20 and 6 top 25 teams this year. Would've been fun.

Edited because I was wrong.. Really wrong.

I really laughed out loud. Hilarious to see the B1G teams in there in the first one.

 

Tennessee bumps up to #16 in the adjusted poll.

And see that’s why it sucks that BIG pulled out prematurely. No one’s going to end up playing and the last poll out will be the official one.

Well this is another kick in nuts for the conference. 

I honestly hope the real power 3 conferences play and are successful.

It is simply nuts to rank a bunch of teams that not even playing this season.   Why?   

Teams not included but are playing ought to be pissed.  

This poll is purely an unofficial one presumably.  You dont include NFL or CFL or Div 2 or other teams not playing 2020 div 1 cfb.  

Perhaps trying to include some of their favorites for purely historical record reasons?   Hmmm? 

Anyone wonder if they will include the Big Ten teams all season.  Heck, I think we should lobby to get NU ranked No. 1. !!

They will drop if the other teams play a week.

USC ranked is a joke. Texas, A&M, PSU too high.

 

 

TCU my second or third overall in the big 12 this year.

WHo cares about these whack preseason polls that are just fap material for so many degraded SEC fans with little to no life....

 

OVER IT

Still asking why include teams that are not even playing?   Nonsensical.  

[Omaha fan]

Ohio state fans are livid, they are legit candidates for national championship and the heisman

I don’t know...wishful thinking....wanted to rub salt in the wound.

[MyBloodIsRed16]

has Notre Dame ever not been ranked in a top 25 preseason poll?

Well, they always rank a few G5 teams, even though they never have a realistic shot at a championship. 

 

The rankings, especially preseason, are only to spur discussion, which is what they are doing. They have very little real meaning.

Clicks of course.  I think there is still a decent percentage of the nation that thinks a game will never be played this fall.  Others still think there is a chance the Big Ten changes their decision and allows play later in October.  Imo, the rankings are based off of opinions on the teams right now.  Like others mentioned, if some teams do get to play while others don't, the rankings will change quickly.
