Polls 2020

I agree. I expected both Fla and A&M to pass us and deservedly so. Hopefully that drop still keeps us probably 1 spot ahead of BYU. Interesting to see what they do with Clemson. A ND loss would have simplified this and that result really hurts our chances.

I agree. When Clemson beats Noter Shame in ACC championship, then ND, Clemson, tO$U, and 'Bama are the Playoff.

In that scenario, which SEC team do you want to play in NY6? I'm hoping Florida. Iur strength versus their strength.

This is a good article about our standing. I guess I forgot BYU played Houston and we have a common opponent. The main reason our chances to make the playoffs are so low is because they still predict us to lose to UCF.

Coaches poll is out and we are in fact #7. BYU is behind us at #8

AP is out now. Also #7. Same spot for BYU there as well.

CFP rankings start coming out on Nov 24 at 7:00

[red_n_black_attack]

We will not be #7 after the UCF game.

[Oldtimer_UC_fan]

Where will we be?

[bearcatjd]

If we win out, I see us playing BYU in a bowl game. The big boys developed this playoff system to keep teams like us out. We will never be allowed in the 4 team playoff.
I hope I'm wrong some day soon!

Where will we be?

hopefully 5 or 6 after a win. There are still many pollsters who ranked us lower because they think we haven't played anyone and UCF will beat us. Win and we move up, at least 1 spot. Lose and the freefall will be huge. I don't think we will still be 7th either way. The funny thing is Tulsa doesn't get the respect that UCF gets because of their longevity, yet Tulsa beat UCF. This game will go a long way towards creating longevity for UC in the minds of many poll voters.

The song remains the same. Not entirely sure whether you should drop A&M for not playing for 3 weeks or not.

Why not? They dropped Cincy during their bye week and A & M has pulled further ahead of UC by not playing!

[Lobot]

You'd think they would drop them a spot but hey P5 bias.

[red_n_black_attack]

I can understand A&M being ahead of us with P5 bias with a loss to probably tge best team in the country and a win over Florida, among others.

I don't get Florida being ahead of us.

Hanging in there at 7 in both media polls this week

[Lobot]

Still holding a 7 in the coaches poll

[swilsonsp4]

Still #7 in AP also.

[Lobot]

6s all around. Now we wait for the CFP. Coastal is into the Top 10 now.
