AP Poll: Gophers debut at 19th

Since each team is playing less games this season would be fun if college football expanded to 8 team playoff for this year only.

If this poll holds would be 5 sec teams, Oklahoma, Clemson, Notre Dame. Would be great.

Voters are being asked to take non-competing teams out of consideration beginning Week 2. This means that no Big 10 or Pac 12 teams will be ranked (among others). Quickly the rankings will shift from being representative of the entire sport, and turned into a ranking of just those playing — which makes sense, but will also be profoundly strange. A constant reminder that the 2020 season will not be a normal one.

So all teams not playing will drop out in week 2.

Seems like there's a solid chance of teams below .500 ending the season in the top 25.

I’m starved for college sports (football & men’s basketball). Wish Big Ten was playing, but still looking forward to college football Saturdays. Bummed that there won’t be any West Coast games for TV, though. Will miss the 9-9:30 pm time slot.

Except, let’s just fantasize and say the Big Ten really does start football sometime Jan, Feb, Mar... the SEC isn’t going to play twice...so the final poll would be in like June and we’d better be in it in January if we are now or it’s really fubar.

The polls are pointless this season until all teams who are going to play football have played their schedule.
 

I never thought I would see the day when the Gophers were preseason ranked in a CFB season we're committed to not play in.

Are we a blue blood yet? :unsure:

Myself, I'm looking forward to Ohio State being voted as the #1 team in the country at the conclusion of the real Rose Bowl in April, when they thouroughly beat a top 5 Oregon squad.

They'll correctly claim a national championship. Just like the good ol days.


And frankly I'm not so sure that the Big Ten and PAC shouldn't give the rest of the asshats (including ESPN) the middle finger and go back to the way it was, before 1998 and the debut of the BCS.

Not me, i want to my team to play for a national title instead of self pro claiming one. That is what recruits will want as well as coaches.

Fair enough. And your opinion is likely the majority opinion.

Things will be back to relative normalcy in fall 2021. Completely normal fall 2022.
 

its already an asterix year for titles. Whoever wins whatever will be devalued. Its still nice to have something to follow but It clearly isnt nearly as entertaining as it was in the good ol' days (pre-2020)

It might be like a return to the pre-BCS era, where we'll debate forever who was better between 2 undefeated teams who never played each other -- 2020 SEC/ACC/B12 champ Clemson or 2021 (Spring) Rose Bowl champ Minnesota
