The Problems is happy to be back for another season of second-guessing voters and committees. We have only one SEC team in the top 11 of the opening AP poll (gasp!), while the Big Ten has four such teams - despite it being the same upper echelon that was exposed during postseason play in 2016. Don’t worry though, there are four SEC squads ranked between 12 and 17 ready to presumably skyrocket up the poll with one decent early-season win. The ACC has a nice smattering of teams present, piggybacking somewhat off its banner year a season ago. South Florida is the only Group of Five representative, and few others managed to even receive votes.
