There was no way this would turn out to be anything but strange, and it would probably be no less difficult in the future.
The school football season will have all 10 FBS meetings to play until the first week of November.
However, in the Associated Press school football poll, all Division I groups planning to play in the fall are now eligible to be included, no matter when they play or how many matches.
That led to a vote on Sunday when six teams, adding the No. 6 Ohio State and Penn State No. 10 entered the standings without betting and no games scheduled until last October. Clemson remains No. 1 and Alabama No. 2. Florida has risen to number 3.
Eleven electorates had to wait and see Big Ten, Pac-12 and others.
“I went back and forth to find out what to do with those groups, but despite each and every one, I made the decision to leave them out until they started playing,” Said Ryan Aber of Oklahoman. “With games canceled every week and every week and schedule with no room for manoeuvre at those conferences, I need to see them play before putting them in the survey. That would have made things much less difficult to classify over the next few weeks in many ways, because those groups can’t lose, but I felt it was the most productive way to take care of things. “
Others felt it was fair as Southeast Conference groups were allowed to remain in the rankings of the two Top 25s pitched before the league begins on Saturday.
“I felt it was vital to be consistent,” Said Davis Potter of the Casper Star-Tribune. “Simply put, I voted for the 25 most sensible groups in the country to date, whether they played a match or not. “
Reality Check usually criticizes the week of the final voter product, suggesting where they might have been a little behind, because that’s what the polls are for!
This was not the case at the beginning of the season. Reality Check is cutting the electorate this season. At least for now. At all times we closely monitor the rating of the groups and appeal to the electorate, if necessary.
For example, Reality Check disappointed to see the electorate back Louisiana-Lafayette in favor of Michigan at the back of the leaderboard.
