Ballot Type: Human

Overall Rationale: Wins and losses matter most. Except, well, this is a preseason poll so it doesn't really apply as much. I'll look at the teams from last year, and give a best guess on what they'll be like this year, with returning production being one of the biggest factors. This also doesn't take into account a team's schedule whatsoever. I'm also throwing Washington a bone for now since they did make the national championship last year, but if they don't impress out of the gate I have no problem with dropping them out. Despite my hope to try and stay as objective as possible, in the end, like all preseason rankings, this is based on vibes.
