Yet another poll, ESPN has created a 2014 Preseason Football Power Index

Yet another poll, ESPN has created a 2014 Preseason Football Power Index

      

 

Preseason college football ratings have historically been far  less scientific than even the polls. But that doesn’t have to be the case. This spring, ESPN Stats & Information created an automated set of preseason ratings for all FBS teams heading into the 2014 season, designed to predict how strong each team will be this coming season. This is essentially a preseason version of the Football Power Index (FPI) used last year.

We have extracted the top 25 G5 programs from the ESPN poll with the ranking to the left for G5’s and the next number indicates how the G5’s fall into the 128 FBS programs.
