NCAA Power Rankings: Far too early predictions, Simulation Edition

So what was supposed to happen a week ago has of course now taken closer to a month to actually get run.  Travels and just an overall busy schedule have kept me from actually getting a chance to run the full season simulation vs the predicted rankings.  But its finally done,so here's the top 25 with a little thought on some teams that are way too high and some that are missing.

The program still loves FSU way too much.  It sees last year currently as a blip, and because of past strong recruiting thinks the 'Noles will rebound quickly.  It also seems to be pretty high on the Big Ten, which I could see most of these teams in the top 25, but not 4 in the top 10.  Also pretty surprised by Iowa at number 13, but I think that's a bit more of a function of playing Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin.  Utah makes the top 25 in this version, but Boise State is still a bit low for my liking.
