Everyone loves power rankings, right? I mean except for the people who actually have to produce them on a regular basis (thanks for that contribution to society, Pete Prisco).
Thank goodness I don’t have to come up with them very often. But I do like to delve in occasionally, particularly this time of year. I love me a good divisional power rankings.
