1	Penn State Nittany Lions	I made a super basic computer poll for the preseason because why the hell not. Its guess is as good as anyone else's and if you complain about it, I don't really care because it's the preseason..... It's calculated based off the previous season's win total, the bowl they reached, and how many returners they have coming back (bonus points for a returning QB).
