Papytendo Ballot for 2020 Preseason
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 2, 2020, 1:58 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Will rationalize more once games are played, this is just who I think will be best based on returning talent/coaching. 
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Ohio State Buckeyes
|
Most overall talent and returning coaching imo. |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
|
| 3 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Will be interesting to see how the loss of Jeff Scott to USF will impact them. |
| 4 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
|
| 5 |
Oklahoma Sooners
|
|
| 6 |
Florida Gators
|
|
| 7 |
LSU Tigers
|
Will still be really good but even for the COVID era of college football they lost a LOT from last season.  |
| 8 |
Penn State Nittany Lions
|
|
| 9 |
Oregon Ducks
|
|
| 10 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
Clemson's first legit threat since their dynasty began. Lost many games close on a young roster last year. Wouldn't be surprised if they stole the ACC this year (ok I'd be a little surprised) |
| 11 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
|
| 12 |
Wisconsin Badgers
|
|
| 13 |
Texas Longhorns
|
|
| 14 |
Auburn Tigers
|
|
| 15 |
Michigan Wolverines
|
|
| 16 |
Utah Utes
|
|
| 17 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
|
| 18 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
|
| 19 |
UCF Knights
|
Could be the year UCF sneaks into the CFP if everything goes right in and out of their control and their depth doesn't cost them.  |
| 20 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
|
| 21 |
Iowa Hawkeyes
|
|
| 22 |
Minnesota Golden Gophers
|
|
| 23 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
|
| 24 |
Memphis Tigers
|
|
| 25 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
