[National Championship Game Thread] #2 Washington v #6 Michigan - January 8, 2024 at 7:30 PM ET in c/[email protected]
[–] merikus 4 points 10 months ago

I’m torn. I like the irony of the PAC-12 finally proving it can win it all, but a Michigan win gets us years and years of debate about whether their championship comes with an asterisk because of the sign stealing scandal.

[Jason Kirk] Postseason College Football Watch Grid in c/[email protected]
[–] merikus 3 points 11 months ago

I generally love Kirk’s Watch Grids, but he seems to have a different philosophy when it comes to Bowl Season than me. I think he could have chosen at least one Watch This game per few days.

For example, Miami (OH) v. App State is an interesting game. As the MAC Champion, Miami seems to be on the rise, knocking off a Toledo that I certainly thought would win. App State is looking to bounce back to its 5 game winning streak form and show that its loss to Troy in the Sun Belt Championship wasn’t indicative of their program.

While that game is nowhere near the “Must Watch” status of FSU v. Georgia, it’s one I’ll be watching on the 16th.

Curious what “must watch” games others put on their list that might be flying under the radar.

I’m an east coaster and fell asleep too early to watch this game. But today made me hate realignment even more. The Apple Cup in particular showed how dynamic the PAC-12 is.

I don’t know about anyone else, but for me this has been my favorite weekend of college football this entire season. Every game has been great. Really living up to the hype.

That was fucking brutal. SEC Shorts is killing it this season.

I have to work for part of today, and normally that would annoy me, but I feel like this week’s slate is pretty meh. A couple of good games, sure, but not one of those days that I’m watching from noon to midnight.

AP Poll - 11/5/23 in c/[email protected]
[–] merikus 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On our /c/cfb poll I have Washington at 3, under Michigan and Ohio State. I don’t understand why the press remains so enamored with Georgia.

I would say it’s largely because I’m bad at this, and you’re probably right.

EDIT: I just noticed the Coaches Poll did something similar to me. Of course, the Coaches Poll is often bizarre.

c/cfb Week 11 Poll in c/[email protected]
[–] merikus 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I found today’s poll super hard. My methodology is what it always is: look at the last week’s rankings, look at the results, and vibe my way through it.

The hardest part of this week was when I got to 20, realized I forgot about Oklahoma, and had to figure out the middle again.

I have very low confidence on my picks under the 10 or 11 slot, but based on this week’s results, so do the professional pollers too.

I recently started using Obsidian and have slowly been working it into my daily workflow.

One thing I’d like to be able to do is to use the iOS share sheet to send a URL to Obsidian with the ability to choose where it goes and make a note about it so I can keep track of bookmarks for various projects.

Is there any way to do this inside Obsidian or using iOS shortcuts with Obisdian?

Thanks!
