TheOrangeKush81 Ballot for 2017 Preseason
Ballot Type: Human
Submitted: Aug. 14, 2017, 11:31 p.m.
Overall Rationale: Ohio state seems to have the most returning talent. I 100% expect them to make the playoffs. They're my opening #1. I'm not ready to put my faith in Francois yet, and I really think Jalen Hurts isn't the answer for Bama, so, until further notice, neither of them is #2. I am, however, quite confident in The Darnold, so USC is. I do think Bama, fresh off the preseason "virgin" sacrifices, will avoid chaos' mighty wrath, and will manage a win against FSU. So that's my top four. Other than that, the only thing I'm sure of is Gundy's mullet.
