The actual division you ended in is completely meaningless. There only thing that matters is MMR. If you were plat 5 but had high MMR it is possible to get placed higher

Everyone loses MMR in a "soft reset" going into each new season if they placed before. This means that most players will be placed lower than they ended the 2017 Season with. Can you stay at the same Rank or even go up? Yes! but your MMR must've been really good for the Rank you were at, so it's unlikely.
