May the Force be with you as you read this week's Power Rankings

It seemed like such a silly question when that television reporter asked Florida coach Will Muschamp last week about being a Padawan compared to Alabama coach Nick Saban's master. But as the week wore on, I couldn't help but wonder what might happen if college football were played in a galaxy far, far away.

So, just in case I haven't chased off every reader with these themed rankings, I consulted Wookieepedia and decided to compare the nation's best teams with Star Wars characters. This one is dedicated to every kid who had this image as his desktop background for at least a portion of high school.
