Preseason AP Top 25 Poll, 2020 Rankings Prediction Without Big Ten, Pac-12

[anandris]

Canes come in at number 15. When you look at these rankings and the teams in front of us (the UCFs, Tennessees, Va Techs, North Carolinas of the world) it is actually pretty reasonable to expect us getting into the top 5 at some point this year and legitimately making a run at the playoffs. Even if we finish 2nd in the ACC, we'll have a legit chance to make it in.

We finish 2nd in the ACC, we will not make the playoffs. 1 ACC team, 1 Big 12 Team and then 2 SEC team as usual.

I don’t know man. Some of those SEC big boys have tough schedules.

Then we'd better not finish 2nd.

I think 2 ACC (Notre Dame, UNC, us?) teams and 2 SEC teams shouldn't be out of question though there's no way they'd go through with it and leave a Power 5 conference out this year especially

No chance. You have to give all three a spot as a reward for actually trying.

I could care less on number 4 after that.

Let's have some fun here.

By "playoff" he actually means...

Am I missing something on Louisville? I know they can put up points but have they learned how to tackle yet?

FSU must be hanging out in the Honorable Mention section of the AP Poll?

In case you didn't click on the link, this is a prediction on rankings without the Pac12 or Big 10 available.

 

[Mel Bernstein]

I hope to god this season goes off without a hitch and the Big 10 and PAC 12 lose all of their recruits.

 

[Tetragrammaton Cane]

ESPN FPI has Miami as the 8th best team in the ACC and expects a 5-6 season with Miami losing to Louisville, FSU, Clemson, VT, Wake and UNC. I don’t see it…at all.

Running the table.

I don’t know man. Some of those SEC big boys have tough schedules.

Alabama could come in dead last in the SEC and still make playoffs

 

[JTKoval]

UCF recruits around 60 to 70th each year. Are they really worthy of that ranking? I feel like I misread it. I better check again. They can’t just keep getting lucky on pics. Coaches have changed. Seems illogical.

 

[Kn[]_[]ckles3o5]

Florida 3 stars mang. People downplay that **** when lamenting our recruiting failures but bottomline is if you hit on enough GR15 type players in Florida you can take a 60 to 70 class to the top 25 or better.

Well - look at what he has to think with . . .

No, the hype for Louisville is all about their speed on offense and their coaching staff (Satterfield is legit).
