Ranking All 124 College Football Teams
College football’s Coaches’ Top 25 Poll was recently released, making fans across the nation even more anxious for things to kick off here in a couple weeks. While fans wait patiently for fall, or at least try to, teams are finalizing their preparations for the 2012 season.
Remember, the college football world still has the current BCS system for two more seasons. That means the polls, no matter how early they are made, are still a key part of a team’s BCS average.
While the coaches are certainly experts in their field, we all know there is an agenda behind the scenes. So what would a more accurate top 25 poll look like? For that matter, where would every FBS team rank on a complete 124 team poll?

The LSU Tigers are the preseason No. 1 team in the nation, but it’s a close call.

But it’s a little early for those kind of predictions. What do you think about the top 25? your team’s ranking? Like or don’t like, leave a comment!
