I will crosspost this to lemmy.world, only fill out one ballot please. Week 0 is in the books, let’s see how this shakes up our polling. As previously discussed I will be posting the results on Wednesday of each week. Mods is there an appetite to make the results reflected in the banner?
You must log in or register to comment.
Here’s my breakdown with a comparison.
I was really impressed with Hartman at ND so they got a big bump. I thought they’d be good, but I didn’t anticipate how good they’d look on offense with Hartman.
I don’t know why I expected SoCal to be better on defense. The offense looks to be fine, but you really can’t just count on outscoring every team every week. so they dropped a good bit.
I’ll try to avoid poll inertia as we move into week one, so I’d expect my ballot to rapidly change week-to-week.
Rk Week 0 Week 1 Change 1 Georgia Georgia 2 Michigan Michigan 3 Ohio State Ohio State 4 Alabama Alabama 5 Penn State Penn State 6 Washington Washington 7 SoCal LSU 1 8 LSU Oregon 1 9 Oregon Notre Dame 7 10 TCU TCU 11 Utah Utah 12 Tennessee SoCal -5 13 clemson Tennessee -1 14 Florida State clemson -1 15 Texas Florida State -1 16 Notre Dame Texas -1 17 Kansas State Kansas State 18 Tulane Tulane 19 Oregon State Oregon State 20 South Carolina South Carolina 21 Duke Duke 22 Boise State Boise State 23 Mississippi State Mississippi State 24 Texas Tech Texas Tech 25 North Carolina North Carolina I don’t know why I expected SoCal to be better on defense
I can’t believe Alex Grinch keeps getting away with it. How many times does he have to teach us that his defenses are not to be trusted? Still, dropping 5 spots after a week 0 game is extreme, but I respect the willingness to ditch poll inertia.
I’m really trying to make my ballot an estimation of the final poll, rather than a weekly power ranking.
Poll inertia must die for this to be reality
Bumping Tennessee down to fit USC in?
Booooooooooooooooo
I still think SoCal is going to be good. I think they’d beat Tennessee based on what I’ve seen.
We’ll see what both teams look like next week
I can’t see the haters through the pantone 151c colored glasses
Submitted! Since mine is a computer poll, there aren’t enough data points to adjust after week 0 without it getting screwy, so I used my preseason poll (USC and Notre Dame I feel are in a good spot anyway). My write up for that poll is here, but I’ll start posting write ups as comments in this weekly thread.

I’m open to updating the banner weekly. I think we may need to switch to just showing the top 10 rather than 25. Anyone have thoughts on that?
Whatever makes it look nice I think. On one hand 10 is how the other website did it and maybe it’d be nice to be different. But on the other 10 is almost certainly easier and more aesthetic.
Edit: and any poll that ranks alabama lowly is a poll I can get behind
I submitted my poll, will be interested to see how results change after the first real week.

If this is something you want to do, I’m cool with it. I made you a mod so if you or @ToasterOverlord have a graphic you want to use for the banner after your poll feel free to change it.
Side note: I almost have all FBS team icons saved to my computer (and resized to make icons) so when I have the time to finish I’m going to revamp the sidebar a little. If you guys have ideas for this let me know, but we are limited to a 10,000 character count including formatting characters.
USC scooted up for me, ND moved up as well but a bit more. Excited for the first real week
The form is not accepting responses
It is now, thank you
