Week 3's Power Rankings

Let me stress that this power ranking is not a ranking of which teams I think are the best. This is just a look at how the teams have fared so far.

The teams are starting to become entrenched at the top and at the bottom of the rankings. It's still hard to judge since several teams haven't had their first open dates yet, and there are still a lot more 1-AA teams on the schedule. As a matter of fact, after three possible games, 55 teams (45.8%) of the 1-A teams still haven't played a 1-AA team. What are you waiting for????

Florida State has earned special distinction by having already played 2 1-AA teams--and they had the first week of the season open. Way to go. I wish I was a season-ticket holder.

I'm glad we're starting to really get into conference play because I am ready to see some of these pretenders (Florida St) get off my top 40.
