We have never been ranked preseason. I’ve waited my whole life for it and we won’t have a season. Bittersweet.

With the B1g and PAC12 cancelled seasons we should move up in the polls, before playing a game. Just say'n.

Those conferences won't like it, but it's only reasonable that teams not playing should not be included in polling while the majority of P5 and G5 teams still will be playing (as of today).

One of the millions of questions that need answered over the next 3 weeks. Does a revised preseason schedule come out? For a school like UC, will it feel like an asterisk if we're top 15 or top 20 preseason instead of top 25? Even with out a revised top 25, schools like Memphis and Navy should have a better chance of cracking the top 25.

Bolded, all the better for the American. More top 25 TV matchups every week from the American than the ACC perhaps.

RE: Coaches Poll Bearcats #22
We will definitely get better TV slots and more attention overall if things go on as planned for the remaining conferences. I take COVID very seriously, but both players and coaches have been coming out saying they're safer with their teams than at home due to testing and having medical professionals around at all times. I'm not sold on the idea of fans in the stands, but I think the AAC should definitely continue forward with the season while doing everything they can to keep players safe.

UC probably just needs to change its mascot from the Bearcats to the Murphy’s Laws.

RE: Coaches Poll Bearcats #22
With the PAC and Big 10 cancelled, UC is up to #14.

Let's dream a little here:

If we run the table, including wins over ranked UCF & Memphis, then over undefeated Navy in the AAC championship... do we get in the playoff?

I assume that the champions of the SEC, ACC, and Big 12 is in. Who gets the 4th spot?

Undefeated UC
2-loss Notre Dame/Clemson (they play in regular season, and might meet again in the ACC championship)
2-loss SEC school
1-loss Oklahoma State

It's rare that a conference with a championship game produces two teams with fewer than 2 losses. In the past 10 years it's only happened 7 times out of 41 P5 seasons (SEC in 2011, 2013, and 2017 and the Big 10 in 2013, 2015, and 2016, and PAC in 2011). With 10 conference games in the SEC & ACC, I doubt anyone does it this year in those conferences.

I wonder how much COVID is affecting the ability to rank recruits. Not sure how much of that process is game film, and how much of it is the off-season camps that I'm guessing have mostly been canceled.

So UC is #22 in the top 16 poll.
