The top ten schools were eligible for inclusion in this week’s Coach Survey after uttering a return plan on October 24 with an eight-game schedule, which is in contrast to the AP survey, which has still made the Big Ten eligible.
First, the convention postponed its autumn calendar amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but reversed the course with increased immediate detection capabilities.

Miami dropped from 18th to 14th in the poll, while Louisville left the polls.
