2011 Preliminary Rankings - October 18th

As of now here's what I have for my preseason power rankings. These could easily change as there is often a lot of off-season activity with teams losing and gaining players or other news. Despite having 4 months until the season really kicks off, I feel there is always something to discuss. A lot more effort and preparation is going into the season previews too. I'll be posting a lot of tweets as well.
