Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 20, 2017, 12:45 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Preseason polls are kind of meaningless, but I went for experience in the trenches while accounting for x-factors. (I.e., I took tOSU over FSU because of the Noles' OL youth, but I took FSU over Clemson because of Francois and Derwin. Also I can't justify putting Texas in the top 25 just yet, Herman nonwithstanding.
