The Budweiser SouthernPigskin.com Power Poll is a combined ranking of the teams from the SouthernPigskin.com FBS coverage area: ACC and SEC. The poll is not entirely predicated on win-loss records or head-to-head pairings, though those are obviously taken into account. The list is an average of the five polls of the members of the Southern Pigskin Staff: B.J. Bennett, Kevin Thomas, J.T. Bennett, Brian Turner and Charlie K.. We rank our top 15 teams.
