Hey Ranters
Several months ago Semo and I started talking about what else (besides the Power Rankings) we could accomplish with the Football Power Rankings Committee (FPRC). One of our ideas was for each team's representatives to collectively write a Preseason Preview for their team. Many thought it was a little too ambitious, but we decided to try it anyway. We obtained some of Ice Cold's old torturing devices, told the FPRC what we wanted and strongly suggested that they get to work. Okay, so we didn't put anyone in the Les Miles-shaped iron maiden (Ice has some weird stuff in his closet), but we did have to break out the whip to get these previews done in a timely manner.
The process was pretty simple. We put a team's representatives on the FPRC and Board Admin(s) together, gave them some basic guidelines on the content, then let them have at it. What they created both shocked and impressed us. There are some surprisingly talented ranters out there!
So this is how it's going down. Every couple days we will post a preview from 1 East Team & 1 West Team on tRant. Once a team's preview is posted, this thread will be updated with a link (so this thread might be a good one to bookmark). At the end of 2 weeks, all the previews will be posted...then a couple days later the season will finally start!
Ranters, keep in mind that these preview will vary in length. Some will be short and concise, while others will be very detailed. So when you click on the link to a particular team's preview, be prepared to read a bit. Our team reps had to cram in 8 months of offseason into 1 preview. If you're a fan of a particular team or interested to see what's been going on in your rival's camp, give these previews a read. I think you'll be surprised and entertained by what your fellow Ranters created.
Below is the schedule of when each preview will be released, which will eventually include links to each preview.
Thanks for reading

Good work guys. Now if the rest of the rant would follow suit and improve their content and flush all the idiotic troll threads.

Makes sense. The powerhouses of each division. Pretty synonymous with each other at this point.

Well, since this is a good idea, I'm going to guess that Semo came up with this one. Also, quit being an attention whore.
