Just to be different:

NC State at 32

Would anyone not on the list start at 42? If those are allowed to get picked I may have a different answer.

Purdue or Nebraska. Neither is great. I doubt UNL will finish ranked, though Purdue very well may. But both are a LOT better than to receive zero votes, especially when like 40-50 teams receive votes.

One could argue McElwain would still be the coach with Grier in Gville.  But that's OT.
yup.
Reading that Bleacher Report article written by Will Grier, sure sounded like McElwain basically pushed him out the door. That's the impression that Grier gives off at least.

Iowa State.

Big 12 is WIDE open this year and the Cyclones have the depth, well-roundedness, and experience of roster to weather through an unpredictable year in the conference.

Well Grier did the wrongdoing.  I think the timing of it was everything - dead center of the season.  No one involved was acting with a calm demeanor, I'm sure.

Isn't it crazy that this isn't a crazy post?!?

West Virginia
Maybe. I don’t know.  They would also be a decent pick for most overrated team.  We’ll see.  The two grad transfers from Clemson and USC are both slated to start Saturday on the DL.  If they can shore up what was a really weak area last year then WVU may belong on this list.

Again, not a deep study, just a team that has a path, doesn't play anyone scary until the last week of the season.  Would anyone be comfortable putting money on OU @ WV in late November, in a high-stakes game?

Don't mean to sound like a homer, but I see Iowa as an 8-4 or 9-3 team. I lean more toward 9-3 due to schedule. Iowa could move up 20 spots. And, with Wisconsin having a very challenging schedule, they could overlook Iowa, and who knows. One of the focuses at Iowa this off-season was to study Badger video for 3-years and figure out why Iowa has been so submissive in recent years. There is some focus on the Wisconsin game because to win the West you have to defeat Madison.
