They are ranking based on potential instead of performance, maybe? 😳

No, their ranking is for the season, not the team. In other words, they believe we had the 20th best season. I think when comparing the expectations before the year and what we accomplished, it's just right.

It is a perception prior to the year vs how we ended up and so we are about right on that ....however it's title is final CFN rankings of teams ...so a tad misleading in where we rank...but the ranking us as number 20 does look like good press...I agree with you in that what they were actually doing we easily had one of the best seasons in college football this year...but as final ranking that 35-43 range would probably be more appropriate

Could you all honestly have imagined before the season started that Troy would find themselves in the top 30% of all D-1 teams. Also, that we took the eventual National Champions down to the wire, which included an alleged 'whistle' that turned into a 14 point swing and likely cost us a W in Death Valley??? We had a remarkable year, including a 10 win season, which was beyond even the most avid Troy fan's expectations! It feels real good!!! Congrats to our players, our coaches and all the support staff.
Go TROY!

If that poll had Alabama as #1, I can guarantee you that Alabama would be claiming it as another National Championship so I think Troy should claim it as a top 20 National final ranking.
