Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 28, 2016, 9:58 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Being a preseason poll, pretty much everything still needs to be proven.  This is a conservative take on team's potential at this point.  Baylor in particular is omitted because I think having a new coach will prove to be a bigger game changer than is being said thus far.
