Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 15, 2017, 10:44 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Lots of speculation about how this season will go, informed heavily by last year's results and this year's schedule.  Personnel and coaching changes that I am aware of are also factored in.  I'm not perfectly informed and this is a preseason poll.  If you are using this for anything but entertainment purposes, you are a fool.
