They’re not in it right now, but with reports that the Big Ten is set to resume its fall schedule on Oct. 17, they’ll be back in it soon.
The Amway Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, released its second edition of 2020 on Sunday afternoon, and while the entirety of the Big Ten and Pac-12 dropped out, we at least get an early look at the current college football landscape as it currently stands.
The ACC and Big 12 both opened up their seasons on Saturday, but it’ll still be another two weeks before the SEC starts up. If plans hold, the Big Ten will start three weeks later — five weeks after the ACC and Big 12 started.
Here’s a look at the current Amway Coaches Poll.
