First and foremost, I hate preseason rankings. I think preseason polls cause bias later in the season but luckily our rankings do not matter to anyone except us. We asked nine of our contributors to submit their preseason poll. It has been compiled and listed for you below. Make sure to let us know who is ranked too high and who is ranked too low!
