My ballot is based on current season accomplishments; trying to avoid poll momentum, previous seasons, or prestige, except for tie-breakers. My own proprietary “nose test”

Alabama overtakes Texas for #1 (dubs over Georgia vs dubs over Michigan, although Texas’s win was an away game, and more convincing, I think Michigan is that far behind). And Utah takes Michigan St’s place at #24. Missed last week due to work, illness, broken hvac combo.

1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. Tennessee

…

24. Utah

I have Memphis at 29. If they keep winning, they would probably get some votes from me. But, beating an 0-3 team isn’t particularly impressive.

plz don’t ban me!

Michigan State is undefeated with a win over a team that doesn’t appear to be a total cupcake. I try to avoid previous-season bias, and only look at the current season results. Frankly, it’s basically a k-way tie in that range this early in the season, and it could have just as easily been some other team at 24.

As of yet, I don’t. But the idea is I eventually move my VM/container host back to my more powerful desktop machine. It also runs Gentoo, so now I can build everything in RAM, even large packages like Firefox, without having to close other programs.

I adopted a cat a couple of months ago. Every time I run a sink she comes running. It’s like her call or something. I don’t know what she’s expecting.

For me, it’s because:

• I have a 5950X and it seems pointless to upgrade from there. Sure the new stuff is faster, but disproportionately so for the price. I would need to replace a bunch of components.
• I recently upgraded to 128GB RAM, and it was cheaper to do that with DDR4
• I’ve had 2 faulty Ryzen processors (1700X, then my first 5950X), and I’ve learned to wait until the kinks are ironed out.

Didn’t see this coming after Kentucky’s results last week. Holding Georgia to 63 yards at half, wow.

FSU lookin’ at 0-3 at this rate. Maybe even 2-10. Also, what is this stat line: DJ is 5/6 for 7 yards?

At first, I read “Denver Harris”, and thought oh, yeah that makes sense, then thought, wait, he’s at Georgia now?, then saw that it’s actually Daniel Harris.

So, it’s 6-Pac now?

I wonder if they’ll eventually absorb all of MWC.

ah, thank you so much! I had no idea it had moved.

Clemson getting all their pent up frustrations out. That’s one hell of a beating.

After one quarter, Baylor has -10 net yards.

yeah, for sure, and I browse those too. But, I also like to browse the ebuilds that have been updated since my last sync, and usually am using gitlab to see the git history - but, by default, the local ebuilds have a git depth of 1.

I didn’t rank Florida State, so make that 2 other voters. b/t this poll and last year’s polls, some of the people using computer polls need to work on refining their algorithms :P

I too would like to see the spreadsheet.

Hopefully, there are more submissions in the coming weeks.

I work as a software engineer with other software engineers. Even software engineers and UX designers using the internet that way. Talented ones. Many of them - maybe the majority. It takes me a second to get over my astonishment when they share their screens. Not only astonishment at how overboard ads have gotten w/o an adblocker, but also that this particular person doesn’t use an adblocker.

So many people aren’t well-informed about what ad networks or doing, or how different the web experience could be.

I’m watching on Sling Blue + Orange. It’s on ESPN3.

That OL looked pretty average against a bottom-tier team (w/o their best defensive player). Could be a rough season for Oklahoma, even with so much talent in all of the other places.

Frankly, the cybertruck depicted in this cartoon looks better than the ones I’ve seen IRL
