Will that game have all ACC officials? If so we may have to swim against the current a bit.

ND will be independent again next season.

ND always uses the officials from the opposing team's conference for all of its home games and has forever.

(ND doesn't have its "own" officials as an indy)

Forever? In the 90s at least, they always used MAC officials for home games. I knew one of them.

Interesting though not surprising that many of these polls for next year reflect the Debby Doo Down Down of the P12.

SI 2021 Top 25

Good summation of potential preseason rankings for next season. I'll still be shocked if we crack the Top 10 but I'll take anything north of #15.

I'd guess we probably start around #8-10 in the AP Poll.
