Power Ranking All Football Teams
It should come as no surprise that BSU is the top-ranked MWC team, but where would we be power ranked among all teams in the country? According to this, we are a tier-3 team, just outside the top 25 (capable of a top-15 finish).

Jon Bois is one of my favorite SB*Nation writers. His take on a Microsoft commercial from the 90s is a pretty fun read!
