Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Jan. 11, 2018, 8:28 a.m.

Overall Rationale: Way too early preseason poll so no real data or anything to work off of but my gut feeling.Notable misses:  West Virginia - I just ran out of room mostly,  it was really tight between Texas, Nebraska, Michigan and West Virginia.  One of them had to drop sadly.UCF - They lost basically their entire staff.Mississippi State - I didn't think they were that good this year, and don't see that changing next year.
