Weekly college football top 25 rankings are a big part of every season, and Athlon Sports will update its top 25 following the games each weekend. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the amount of games and start of play for all 10 conferences is different. The MAC and Pac-12 began their 2020 seasons in November, which means all 10 conferences will be playing until the Dec. 19 weekend. Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Notre Dame head into the bowl season ranked as the top four teams, with Texas A&M, Cincinnati and Oklahoma up next. Cincinnati ranks as the top Group of 5 team going into the postseason, while Coastal Carolina, Tulsa, Buffalo, San Jose State and Louisiana also appear in the top 25.
