Once again, yours truly is privileged and pleased to be a BlogPoll voter; the ballot below is my preseason ranking. Of course, one of the most salient criticisms of the polls that actually matter is that there are preseason polls at all: they're based on flimsy evidence, and they set an artificial baseline for the the rankings going forward. But, our poll doesn't affect anything other than our pride (or lack thereof), so here goes:

Comments/criticisms welcome, with the caveat that I didn't put a ton of effort into putting together this ranking. (How can you spend much time when there's no evidence to use?) Future ballots will be more than an exercise in throwing darts at the wall.
