Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 22, 2016, 7:12 p.m.
Overall Rationale: I give my thoughts for any team ranked +/- 2 from the AP Poll. Here is my rationale for teams missing from my ballot on the AP Poll: // North Carolina: They lose a ton of experience on offense, and that run defense that Baylor exploited last year to a tune of 500+ yards loses linebackers as well. This team can do really well, but more likely is just mediocre. // Baylor: Speaking of Baylor, they're going to be playing with a lot of new players, and a new coach. They'll still be a good football team, but I think the turmoil following the Baylor scandal is just too much for the team to handle. // Florida: Florida's offense is a big question mark. They're probably going to be good later on down the road, but I don't see them being good right away.

If Ole Miss can hold on early in the season, they'll do really well this season. Week 1 against Florida State will be a telling game, but I think Ole Miss can do well against them. |

Michigan is headed into the season with a new QB, and with a just okay offense last year, they need to prove that their offense is capable to move into the Top 10. |

I'm buying into the hype just a little. They still need to close out games, and that's a big factor. |

Last year, Nebraska lost a lot of games because of mistakes. Lots of mistakes. I think this year they'll come back and learn from those mistakes and win. |

They will be incredibly deep in the backfield and return a lot of starters. They're going to be a very experienced team. |
