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?

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.

1 Georgia Georgia

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

I submitted my poll, will be interested to see how results change after the first real week.

Mods is there an appetite to make the results reflected in the banner?

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.

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.

Mods is there an appetite to make the results reflected in the banner?

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

The form is not accepting responses

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 year ago

It is now, thank you

[–] g0d0fm15ch13f 2 points 1 year ago

USC scooted up for me, ND moved up as well but a bit more. Excited for the first real week
