Submit your ballots for our preseason poll HERE. These votes are anonymous and open to anyone, so feel free to contribute. So far the c/cfb poll has been relatively accurate and enough different from the AP/Coaches/cfp that it’s worth checking out!
Updated the banner! I only meant for the CFP-champion banner to be up for a few weeks, but surprisingly no one seemed to complain about the smug Harbaugh all off-season.
Got a little lazy with the 3-way tie for 10th by cramming all 3 logos in there, but week zero is just around the corner anyway. Although I would have loved to leave ou off…
I’ll get my preseason ballot in ASAP, but I haven’t figured out yet how to balance my algorithm after conference realignment… I might have to hold off tweaking it for this season just to see how things play out and revisit it next off-season.
In other news, I was thinking of holding a community prediction competition/sweepstakes for the upcoming season, but I’m not sure how many folks would participate given the low activity on Lemmy in general. If anyone is interested though, let me know! I think it could be fun.
Welcome back, hope you enjoyed the offseason. I figured you were just taking some time off of sub maintenance, but I mean he did earn it. It is fitting that our tribute to the victors outlasted his tenure though. I’ve been thinking about trying to do some sort of contest to boost engagement, but don’t have any outstanding ideas… if you have ideas feel free to dm me.
My first poll below, yell at me about how I’m wrong daddy. For those of y’all new this season, my poll is entirely made up by me based on gut feels and ,,vibes,, but look at me, responsibly ranking TN for once in my life

PS: Not to spoil too much but right now the gamecocks lead the poll…
I’m not apologizing for keeping y’all in my delusions.
Tap for spoiler
But if it’s messing with the data, feel free to drop my poll vote. I’m the one who did S.Car for 1 to 24 and then did the other USC for 25.
Totally sliding my ballot in at the 11th hour! For those not familiar, mine is purely a computer poll and is very wacky early on. More explanation here and in the comments here.
