While I realize the college football season just came to an end (with quite a yawn, I might add), it’s never too early to take a peek at the possible pre-season rankings for the 2012 season. ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Athlon and others have already put out their top 25 for next season, so I figured it was the Dirt’s turn. I analyzed what each team has coming back, looked at the other pre-season top 25 lists and took a few leaps; but here is my 2012 pre-season top25 – included is their spot in the ESPN poll, and final ranking from this season…. Enjoy:
