Looking Inside the Preseason Poll

For the initial poll, the following is a look inside each voter’s preseason poll. Each individual poll was compared to the consensus and the largest discrepancies are listed per voter. Also, any team within the preseason top 10 that was not included in a voter's poll is included. Finally, there is an individual breakdown of voters whose polls most differentiated and least differentiated from the consensus.

Obviously all voters are free to vote how they see fit; this is only to show each pollster’s initial outlook towards certain teams as compared to the entire voting pool.
