For the third year in row, the CFRA has selected the same teams in their final four as the playoff committee. The glaring disparity between our rankings and the other human polls is that the undefeated UCF Knights come in as a high as # 6 and were also able to garner two first-place votes. Without further ado, here is this year’s CFRA Final Regular Season Poll.
