My Preseason Poll leads the AP/Coaches Polls average by two teams. I picked Washington and Utah to play in the Pac 12 Championship Game, both undefeated. The same goes for Michigan and Clemson in the ACC and Big 10. Oklahoma and LSU coaches have let me down on the Big 12 and SEC, but can still come back – maybe, maybe, maybe.
