Submitted: Oct. 19, 2020, 2:10 p.m.
Overall Rationale: O boy, almost time to add eight new teams to this.  Somehow.
| Rank | Team | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |
Clemson Tigers
|
Just battered them, so badly I couldn't move Alabama to 1 despite the better opponent. |
| 2 |
Alabama Crimson Tide
|
1b thats for sure. |
| 3 |
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
|
I feel uncomfortable putting them here, we need the Big 10 back in so many ways. |
| 4 |
Oklahoma State Cowboys
|
Bye week success. |
| 5 |
Iowa State Cyclones
|
See Ok. State description. |
| 6 |
BYU Cougars
|
BYU is fun and good, not something I thought I'd ever say about a Mormon college. |
| 7 |
Georgia Bulldogs
|
How's that offense looking Kirby? |
| 8 |
Texas A&M Aggies
|
That was unspectacular. |
| 9 |
Florida Gators
|
I still think they should be above A&M on team quality but here we are. |
| 10 |
Cincinnati Bearcats
|
Another team who benefited more from not playing. |
| 11 |
Virginia Tech Hokies
|
Yes they lost to UNC which makes it tougher to justify putting them above but I looked at them, Miami, and UNC for this spot and based on schedule just felt like they should be here. |
| 12 |
Miami Hurricanes
|
Probably over corrected a bit last week with the drastic drop. |
| 13 |
North Carolina Tar Heels
|
Its FSU, you really can't be doing these things. |
| 14 |
Kansas State Wildcats
|
Chanticleers are coming for you... |
| 15 |
Coastal Carolina Chanticleers
|
This makes me too happy, also they are just a fun team to watch, catch a game if you can. |
| 16 |
SMU Mustangs
|
They are holding this by the skin of their teeth, I imagine they drop into the low 20's next week. |
| 17 |
Liberty Flames
|
I knew Syracuse wasn't good but making me rise Liberty in rank bad?? |
| 18 |
West Virginia Mountaineers
|
They are seriously solid, like the edge of top 25 material in the fact they will win a good amount of games but not really challenge any truly good team. |
| 19 |
NC State Wolfpack
|
Have really turned things around since the VT thumping. |
| 20 |
Marshall Thundering Herd
|
Just very solid team this year, great defensive presence.  I am very ready for a good Marshall though. |
| 21 |
Army West Point
|
They have looked unconvincing but they are also winning and the bottom of the poll is kinda getting scraped up for one more week. |
| 22 |
Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns
|
I hate that they are still ranked but the Iowa State win is still good so that calms me a bit. |
| 23 |
Houston Cougars
|
Shouldn't be ranked, I hate that we don't have more teams to pick from. |
| 24 |
UAB Blazers
|
Very UAB, very good and solid but not spectacular. |
| 25 |
Boston College Eagles
|
It could have been Pitt?? IDK these last few spots are bad and I told you they would be. |
