Somewhat of a fair ballot is finally coming into focus now that OOC has been ongoing for a few weeks, and conference play is starting in dribs and drabs. We're starting to get an idea as to the relative strength of each conference, but the sample size is small enough so that this is still splitting hairs to an extent.
I would have liked to include Mississippi State.
