My preseason Associated Press Top 25 ballot

By Michael Rothstein

I'm an Associated Press Top 25 voters this year, and the preseason poll came out today. Here's my ballot.

Agree? Disagree? Got a beef? Comment below or drop me an e-mail and we'll talk about it. We'll post the Associated Press version later today.

I find the preseason poll the toughest because so much of it is based on prediction, speculation and returning players. I'd imagine this ballot will look a lot different a month from now.
