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

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

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

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.

UMASS? They went 1-11 in 2022 and 2021

I had to put NM State last for losing to UMASS

I never heard anything about ‘Crashing’ on HBO before just stumbling on it in the HBO app.

It’s a pretty funny show about a standup comedian trying to make it in NY while dealing with a divorce. It kind of feels like Louie if the protagonist had a positive outlook on life.

It’s not the greatest show ever, but it blows my mind that I’d never heard of it at all

It just feels so Reddit

I think you’re supposed to see that and see that it’s cringe though. I still couldn’t get into it though. I watched the first season and half of the second and it didn’t do it for me

Sources: ACC Presidents met tonight and the pursuit of Stanford and Cal for conference membership has “hit significant roadblocks.” There’d always been long odds because there wasn’t ever a significant value add. Source

 

Washington State AD Pat Chun: "There's a century of history that has gone by the wayside because this conference has mismanaged itself on a bunch of different levels. And when you have poor leadership, one of the outcomes is failure. That's what has happened to the Pac-12."

Notre Dame is an independent in football, but they’re in a conference for everything else, why aren’t we all independent for football? Take the 64 teams in Power Five and make that one division, take the 64 teams in Group of Five, make that another division. We play for a championship, they play for a championship and no one else gets affected. Our sport’s different than everybody else — we only play once a week, travel’s not a big deal for football, but it is a big deal for other sports. So that’s my theory.”
