Overall Rationale
I have never been less sure about preseason rankings. With all of the transfers and questions of eligibility it’s impossible to know what many of these teams will actually look like. I’m mostly going on vibes for now and will try to reevaluate a few weeks into the season without referencing preseason rankings to try and remove that initial bias.
