Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 3, 2020, 1:15 a.m.
Overall Rationale: My rationale is based off of a combination of recent consistency, momentum, recruiting (primarily 2-4 years ago) & returning starters / staff. 
Rank | Team | Reason |
---|---|---|
1 | Clemson Tigers | |
2 | Ohio State Buckeyes | |
3 | Alabama Crimson Tide | |
4 | Oklahoma Sooners | |
5 | Oregon Ducks | I thought Oregon was looking at a potentially great season and would have been looking in on a chance at the playoffs, but out of the teams I think will win their P5 conferences I see Oregon as the most likely to drop an unexpected game. |
6 | Georgia Bulldogs | |
7 | Penn State Nittany Lions | |
8 | LSU Tigers | LSU had an absolutely incredible season last year and it feels almost wrong placing them here, but they've lost basically everyone involved in making that happen as well as Ja'Marr chase opting out of the season. I think Coach O might find a great staff again but it will probably take more time than this year to get a staff working in sync like that again. |
9 | Florida Gators | |
10 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | |
11 | Wisconsin Badgers | |
12 | Texas A&M Aggies | |
13 | Auburn Tigers | |
14 | Cincinnati Bearcats | |
15 | Minnesota Golden Gophers | |
16 | North Carolina Tar Heels | |
17 | Oklahoma State Cowboys | |
18 | USC Trojans | |
19 | Michigan Wolverines | |
20 | UCF Knights | |
21 | Texas Longhorns | |
22 | Iowa State Cyclones | |
23 | Arizona State Sun Devils | |
24 | Utah Utes | |
