Will We Be Top 25 This Season?

[GTWannaBee]

Coaches poll left out teams not playing. AP did not do that as of Aug 24th.

In the first coaches poll, those teams were still listed. This week's poll removed them.

AP Poll will not include B1G or Pac-12 teams either.

Not surprising. It was an impressive win to Tech fans, but outsiders see it as an upset over a pitiful FSU team that won't win many other games. Beat UCF and we're in. Beat UCF and Syracuse and we're definitely in.

I didn't consider it s possibility, really. But now that we are close, I want it, despite the myriad of caveats.

What's holding us out even more is none of the SEC teams have even played a game, so none of them can lose and drop out.

You mean “lose and improve in ranking” right? That’s how it works in the SEC.

College Football Teams That Plan to Play a 2020 Season

College football's 2020 season has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the MAC, Mountain West and Pac-12 joining the Big Ten in

So "top 25" means "top third." I think that's possible.

FSU is pretty bad. They weren’t much better than us last season. We did great to win on the road and if we played a perfect game we would be ranked, but I’m glad we aren’t. College kids start getting big heads really fast. It will take time to learn how to walk with the swagger of not being dazed by respect. Let’s keep earning it this season.

I will be mad if we aren’t ranked next week after beating UCF. 4-0 heading into Clemson would be pretty sweet.

Have to believe if you wish to achieve. Don’t take it for granted but don’t doubt yourself either.

Beat UCF and we’re probably Top 15. We’d have arguably the most impressive resume in the country.

Alabama hasn't lost either.
