The College Football Blog: 2012 Preseason Power Rankings

Note about this year’s Power Rankings: No time for any comments this year. Actually, I may not be adding comments to posts very often this year. To be honest, I almost decided to shut it down this year, as my job leaves me with little time for hobbies (not to mention the general disinterest by the public). But I decided to push on, for you, the faithful imaginary reader. With that, let’s get to the preseason power rankings.
