Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Jan. 12, 2018, 8:05 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Not going to do extensive research for a way too early poll but I see no harm in filling one out anyway. Top 4 represents my way too early playoff picks. Won't put 2 teams from the same conference in the top 4 even though the committee has shown us they are willing to do so.
