Brought to you by the same people that gave you the 24 hour sports news cycle, we now have the 12 month football season. ESPN released their initial preseason F.P.I rankings. It’s not the official preseason rankings, because they are subject to change. While in all probability the final rankings will look nothing like this list, it’s still fun to talk about, even if I am feigning indignation at rankings coming out so early.
The first thing that jumps out at me is that I have to scroll all the way down to 51 to find the first non power 5 team.
