hokies220 Ballot for 2018 Preseason

Ballot Type: Human

Submitted: Aug. 16, 2018, 12:56 p.m.

Overall Rationale: Preseason polls are worthless, but I'm doing one anyways because I'm so excited for the season to be starting in less than 10 days. Not even doing a joke poll although we all know Kansas deserves that #1 spot.

Rank Team Reason
1 Alabama Crimson Tide This is their world and we're just living in it.
2 Clemson Tigers ThEiR EnTiRe D-LiNe CoUlD WrEcK ThE NfL
3 Ohio State Buckeyes Urban had previous knowledge of my preseason ranking
4 Washington Huskies This is the year for the Huskies I can feel it**This is probably not going to work out
5 Wisconsin Badgers Can they actually win the B1G this time? 
6 Georgia Bulldogs Excited to see where it all falls apart for them this year.
7 Michigan State Spartans Fully buying the Spartans this year
8 Auburn Tigers Will Auburn win 5 games or 13?
9 Oklahoma Sooners Trust OU more than anyone else in the Big 12 for obvious reasons. It's their conference.
10 Stanford Cardinal Love is optimism. Optimism is Love.
11 Purdue Boilermakers THIS TRAIN IS POWERED BY PURE UNBRIDLED HYPE
12 West Virginia Mountaineers Should be really good. Feel like I've said that before.
13 Michigan Wolverines If Patterson is even semi competent then they should contend for the conference.
14 Penn State Nittany Lions Wow this division is tough ain't it?
15 UCF Knights Can they have near as much success without Frost? Maybe.
16 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Don't know what to expect from them, but Wimbush is a threat and they won 10 games last year so I'm thinking 10 wins is possible again.
17 Oklahoma State Cowboys Gundy should have a top 25 team all season long unless..
18 Boise State Broncos These guys spoil it early on.
19 Miami Hurricanes Not entirely sure how convinced I am that they'll be good again, but preseason top 20 seems fair.
20 TCU Horned Frogs Just got some terrible injury news which is unfortunate, but they should be a 9+ win team.
21 FAU Owls Singletary is back. Lane Train likes Singletary the rest of the CUSA does not.
22 USC Trojans Bit of a disappointment last year compared to what could've been, but they're USC they should just reload and win the south again.
23 Arizona Wildcats UNLESS KHALIL TATE RUNS AWAY WITH THE DIVISION. Get it, runs away, because he's extremely mobile.
24 Troy Trojans Put some respect on their name.
25 Army West Point Yeah what's up that's right. Rounding out a preseason top 25 with FSU or Miss State or VT or Oregon is boring. In 2018 Army is coming for that ass.
