CBS Sports released its power rankings yesterday and has the Mountaineers ranked at #31 to start the season. West Virginia slides into the poll between Northwestern at 30 and Arkansas at 32.
The top of the power rankings nearly mirror that of the Coaches Poll that came out last week. Alabama is #1, followed by Ohio State at #2, Florida State at #3, USC at #4 and Penn State at #5. Clemson, Washington, Oklahoma, Auburn and Oklahoma State round out the top 10.
Georgia, who finished 8-5 last year and did not finish in the top 25, comes in at #15.
