The College Football Future Power Rankings project was created to answer the following question: Which college football programs will win the most in the next three seasons and have the best chances to contend for and win conference and national championships in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 seasons.
To answer the question, we had our panel of experts -- Heather Dinich, Brad Edwards, Travis Haney, Sharon Katz, Tom Luginbill, Ted Miller, Adam Rittenberg and Mark Schlabach -- rate college football's top teams from 1 to 10 (1 being the worst, 10 being elite and 5 being average).
