FIC Top Twelve Power Rankings for College Football By Michael Rauch

This week, we debut the FIC Top Twelve Power Rankings for college football. Everybody else is in the poll business, so why shouldn’t we?

The rankings were narrowed down to 12 because that is all that really matters for the BCS bowls and national championship game. The ballots were submitted by FIC members on a voluntary basis. This is by no means scientific, but probably done with more insight than the coaches poll since the voters actually watch more than one game per week.

So, without further adieu, here is the very first FIC Top Twelve Power Rankings for College Football:
