The final Coaches Poll Top 25 rankings for the regular season should have a few quirky changes.
How high up does Clemson go after being down so low? Will it blow past a South Carolina team it lost to two weeks ago? Will it move past an SMU it just beat for the ACC Championship, or is the way the Tigers won enough to keep it from roaring up too far?
How far do Texas and Penn State drop? How high up will Arizona State go? Where does Boise State finish?
Before all the bowl fun gets going, what's the final Coaches Poll Top 25 going to look like? Here's our best guess.
