kdbvols Ballot for 2016 Week 2
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Sept. 5, 2016, 10:58 a.m.
Overall Rationale: While generally predictive projections of the final rankings, since it is week one, these rankings do not allow a loss; there is not enough of a body of work for 1 loss teams to be in the top 25 at this point.
