Top 25 Rankings

While the AP (Associated-Press) top 25 did not have Alabama in their top 25 teams, Alabama received an impressive 173 votes, which is the most of any team outside of the top 25. Alabama has not been in the top 25 in the AP poll since November of 2017.

The No. 1 ranked Clemson Tigers had their yearly close win against an unranked team in the disappointing Atlantic Coast Conference. After squeaking out a win from a then 4-2 Boston College squad, it’s clear to me that a competitive 2020 College Football Playoff shouldn’t include the Clemson Tigers.
