Stanford getting the typical ACC bias smh

[NYCHusker]

I'm stunned that Minnesota is so high. That's one I'm gonna need to see to believe.  

Here's my ballot. I'm sure I'll get roasted for including Illinois, but I wanted to give the 25th spot to a team that could end up surprising us.

1. Nebraska
2. Texas
3. Pittsburgh
4. Wisconsin
5. Louisville
6. Stanford
7. Penn State
8. Purdue
9. Florida
10. Oregon
11. Creighton
12. Kansas
13. Arizona State
14. Georgia Tech
15. Kentucky
16. Florida State

Fair. But a little math does show that one voter each ranked Nebraska and Texas #3.
