Every Thursday during the season we will compile and summarize different power rankings from the various experts around the web. The list of rankings should expand a bit as the season gets going (some sites have not posted preseason power rankings) if there are any sites you want to suggest that we add to the list please post their link in the comment section.
The full power rankings, as well as the "averaged" rankings are after the break.
