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, Jordan Martin, and Charlie K.. We rank our top 15 teams.

I’m looking for the Heels to make some noise this coming season. Fourth season under Davis, defense stacked, and offense ready to improve with a healthy and deep O-line.

I think Georgia and South Carolina are two low and Florida should be #1..

Gotta agree with UNC 98. Heels will be tough. They also have VT and GT at home. That D should be ferocious. The ACC Coastal should be a lot of fun.
