Overall Rationale
~I totally forgot about Virginia when I was first looking at teams because Virginia can be so forgettable at times and then realized everything that they bring back from last year. ~I feel I will be in the minority on Miami and Texas A&M but I'm fine with going on the roller coaster of them being frustrating all year. ~People should put more respect on Wyoming with Maladonado and Ike. Those guys were just putting it together last year and they'll be legit this year.
