What would the 2020 USA Today Coaches Poll have probably looked like after the Week 1 games? It’s our predicted best guess on the latest college football rankings.
The next Coaches Poll isn’t going to come out until next week, September 13th, after the Week 2 games are played. What would it have looked like after this week?
This is the prediction and projection without the teams that aren’t playing – or aren’t expected to play – in the 2020 season. The 2020 preseason top 25 Coaches Poll ranking, total votes are also listed along with the 2019 record.
Again, this is a projection and not the real Coaches Poll.
