Big Ten teams once again included in the new Amway Coaches poll

The Badgers are back in the polls

Big Ten football is back, which means the conference will once again be represented in the rankings. Today’s Amway Coaches Poll  included Big Ten teams following the news that the season would resume on October 24.

Despite the inclusion of the Big Ten, the rankings were not kind to the conference. While most of the reason is that Big Ten teams have yet to play games, it was still surprising to see just how far multiple squads fell, including the Badgers.

Here is a look at the complete Amway Coaches Poll:

Auburn football: Tigers move up in latest Amway Coaches Poll

[jwplayer vgn1sUXu-er0jUifI]

Game week has arrived for Auburn and the Tigers will start the season in the top ten of the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Irish steady as Big Ten is back in Amway Coaches Poll

The newest Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports was released, the Irish find themselves holding steady after a blowout win on Saturday.

Doesn’t it feel nice waking up after the Irish demolished South Florida to a tune of 52-0? You bet your ass it does, but as we all prepare to watch Notre Dame alum getting paid to play, in the back of our minds were wondering how the polls will react to the Big Ten rejoining fall football.

The Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports gave the Irish some hope, as our midwestern neighbors once again shook things up. Dropping 52 on South Florida didn’t impress the coaches enough though, as the Irish didn’t see change at all from their No. 7 ranking.

Clemson remained at the top spot, while Miami made a big jump to No. 14. The U is “back,” although we have seen this proclamation before. Have them beat a top 10 team handily, then we can talk. Until then the Hurricanes’ will ride high on the prime time win over then No. 16 Louisville, who dropped out of the poll entirely.

The Big Ten as a group was ranked again, although their top team, Ohio State, was just No. 10 after holding a preseason rankings of No. 2. Interesting take by the coaches to include them when their first game won’t happen for over a month.

Here is the rest of the coaches poll, with ACC teams in bold and last weeks ranking in parentheses.

SEC announces 2020 preseason coaches All-SEC Football Team

The SEC announced its 2020 preseason coaches All-SEC Football Team, featuring 8 Gators among the three tiers of teams used in the rankings. 

The Southeastern Conference announced its 2020 preseason coaches All-SEC Football Team, featuring eight Florida Gators among the three tiers of teams used in the rankings.

Florida features two players on the first team, with quarterback Kyle Trask and tight end Kyle Pitts getting the nod from fellow SEC coaches. However, the Gators failed to place a defensive player on the First Team.

The second team, however, has a trio of Gators defenders on it, with linebacker Ventrell Miller, along with defensive backs Kaiir Elam and Marco Wilson receiving support. Much like the dearth of defense on the first team, there is a noticeable absence of offensive players on the second.

Another triad of Gators athletes made the third team, this time with a bit more diversity. Kadarius Toney gets the nod for his all-purpose play, while defensive lineman Zachary Carter and place-kicker Evan McPherson round out the members of UF’s squad on the 2020 preseason coaches All-SEC Football Team.

Clemson and Alabama top first Amway Coaches Poll without Big Ten teams

In the first Amway Coaches Poll without Big Ten teams, Clemson and Alabama sit atop the top 25 rankings.

[jwplayer wLZ8OZt0]

The new Amway Coaches Poll dropped on Sunday and, while Michigan State wasn’t going to be on it this week either way, this version is unique because it is the first Amway Coaches Poll to come out without any Big Ten teams in the ranking.

This means that Ohio State, a perennial top ten team, is nowhere to be found in this list. They were ranked at No. 2 in the preseason poll. Instead, ACC and SEC juggernaughts Clemson and Alabama sit at No. 1 and No. 2 on this version of the rankings.

Of course, things could change soon, as a report came out this morning that the Big Ten will be moving to reinstate the fall season in October after they collectively review a presentation their medical subcommittee gave on new rapid-response testing kits on Saturday.

You can find the full Top 25 on the next page.
