The PPI Power Poll will be updated daily and we will post top conferences and teams intermittently. PLEASE NOTE: These power polls are merely interim projections based on what has happened so far and they will look ‘funny’ until the PPI is fed more game data. Official rankings and game projections will be released on Christmas Day!
