Here's the result of the 2017 Probability Polls. A lot of excitement out of the gate, with more than 160 folks voting in the first poll. Later polls set in at about 90 voters, and then apathy set in after the news about Mills hit.

UT : 0.615 L
JSU : 0.846 W
UCF : n/a
Pitt : 0.642 W
UNC : 0.624 W
Mia : 0.438 L
WF : 0.776 W
Clem : 0.332 L
UVA : 0.742 L
VT : 0.596 W
Duke : 0.720 L
UGA : 0.616 L

Total: 6.95 wins (2016 prediction: 7.3 wins)

Adjusted total thru Game 1: 6.33 wins (-0.615)
Adjusted total thru Game 2: 6.49 wins (+0.154)
Adjusted total thru Game 3: 6.85 wins (+0.358)
Adjusted total thru Game 4: 7.22 wins (+0.376)
Adjusted total thru Game 5: 6.78 wins (-0.438)
Adjusted total thru Game 6: 7.01 wins (+0.776)
Adjusted total thru Game 7: 6.67 wins (-0.332)
Adjusted total thru Game 8: 5.93 wins (-0.742)
Adjusted total thru Game 9: 6.34 wins (+0.404)
Adjusted total thru Game 10: 5.62 wins (-0.720)
Adjusted total thru Game 11: 5.00 wins (-0.616)

Changes in probability from 2016 / 2015 repeat opponents:

Pitt : +0.062 / -0.097
UNC : +0.085 / -0.126
Mia : -0.020 / -0.197
Clem : -0.054 / -0.210
UVA : +0.060 / -0.056
VT : +0.054 / -0.062
Duke : +0.052 / -0.103
UGA : +0.144 / -0.010

Average : +0.048 / -0.108
Cumulative: +0.384 / -0.861

So, we are roughly 4.8% more optimistic this year over last year, but notably less optimistic than this time in 2015.

Ranking of toughest opponents by probability:

1. Clem 0.332 L
2. Mia 0.438 L
3. VT 0.596 W
4. UT 0.615 L
5. UGA 0.616 L
6. UNC 0.624 W
7. Pitt 0.642 W
8. Duke 0.720 L
9. UVA 0.742 L
10. WF 0.776 W
11. JSU 0.846 W

Here's the complete voting spreadsheet. I'll be tracking each voters record through the season if you voted for all 12 games.
