College Power Rankings

The college power rankings return for an early outdoor edition.

I'm not one of those people who believes indoor and outdoor track should be considered separate sports.  How many colleges have separate webpages for their indoor and outdoor teams?  Does anyone ever get a scholarship for indoor track only?  Do coaches get separate contracts for indoor and outdoor track?  Of course not.  My rankings are for a combined indoor/outdoor season, as everyone knows track and field is.

It being very early, the more active teams are rated higher than they might otherwise be.
