Clemson 22nd. UCF got 15 votes San Diego State pulled 9 votes. As mentioned above Loyola is ranked 26th. Could have four games verse top 25 teams (3 vs Loyola). I suppose SDSU and UCF could be top 25 if they go unbeaten until we play them for a total of six top 25 games. Doubtful but you never know. A few would be nice though.
