I’d love an alternative to Mint that allows automatic account syncing

Really is a massive bummer. We’re pretty thin at LB, so he was primed to have a big season with a lot of playing time.

I wonder if he’s going to work to come back next season or call it and move past his playing days

I feel like the end zone is what makes it feel so similar to /r/cfb, not the ranking.

Of these, I think the second option makes the most sense

Winning Time on HBO is an Adam McKay biographical series that mostly focuses on Magic Johnson, but goes into the Bird rivalry a good bit.

It’s a great watch so far. It’s currently halfway through season two

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

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

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.

I think we should close one and link to the other. This is one of the major things I dislike about the feeiverse. Small communities like this can’t handle being segmented the way a news or memes community can.

Tell me where to go and I’m there.
