It’s officially bowl season everyone! However, before the postseason can began, the CFRA must publish its end of regular season top 25 poll. At the very top, the CFRA was just like the other major polls (AP, Coaches, and CFP) that ranked Michigan # 1 and Washington # 2, but the margin here was much closer than anywhere else (5 total points). In fact, Washington and Michigan had the same number of first-place votes overall. The CFRA then differed from the playoff committee by ranking Florida State at # 3, ahead of Texas and Alabama, albeit by a single point. In fact, if you check each of the four major human polls (CFRA, CFP, AP, and Coaches), they all include same top five teams with a slightly different order for each. Without further ado, here is this year’s CFRA End of Regular Season Poll.  First-place votes are in parentheses next to each team.

1.  Michigan (6)– 316 points
