c/cfb confirmed not cowards. Completely unranking Clemson, barely even voting for them.
Lots of movement for such a normal week, LSU and FSU both had massive swings as expected
Texas, ND and Wisconsin suffered from other's success
Still a top TENnessee
Several ties, which I listed as ties. If we want a community tie breaker I'm all ears, I believe the ap does something like highest previous rank

Edit: I went ahead and changed the ties based on rankings from week 1. Feel free to yell at me if you think the tie breaker should be something else

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 3 points 1 year ago

To piggyback on the ties thing, I'm planning on showing them in the banner in this order but am considering having the rank read as "T3" and "T9". Any thoughts? I'll update the banner in a few hours when I get off work

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure. I made the changes because having two number threes was driving me nuts and I like the elegance of the previous weeks rankings being the tie breaker. However there are several corner cases here that aren't accounted for. Say two unranked teams tie at 25th? That seems very possible with only half a dozen or so voters. So do we see who recieved more votes previously? And what if we have a situation next week where Texas (hopefully) beats bama but not in a very convincing way and they tie for 6th? The current tiebreaker would have alabama in the lead but Texas would literally be coming off a win over them. So add a head to head clause? I think I personally want a tie breaker, but I definitely want one that works for the community and covers all our bases.

Jeez West Virginia sure has fallen off since week 0

[-] ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social 4 points 1 year ago

I don't mind losing teams being ranked, so long as it's only week 1 and they played a strong opponent. But UTSA received votes?? Did people not notice they played awfully against a middling Houston team?

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And I really want them to be ranked as we play them later in the season

[-] Manibusan@fanaticus.social 2 points 1 year ago

Not gonna lie, I voted for UTSA when I meant to vote for Tulane. I was tired after that Clemson game 😅

[-] Andjhostet@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It's unfathomable to me that people are voting for TCU, Clemson, or LSU to be ranked. There's no justification for it.

[-] hellyeahgococks@fanaticus.social 4 points 1 year ago

I had LSU and TCU ranked 23 and 24.

I still think they’ll be ranked to end the season.

I actually think clemson will be ranked at the end of the season as well, but I’m not passing up an opportunity to kick them out of my ballot

[-] Andjhostet@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I think LSU and Clemson will be ranked by the end of the season and definitely one of the best 25 teams in the country. But there's absolutely zero reason to rank them now as 100% of the datapoints we have are them getting blown out. Ranking shouldn't be speculation.

Zero chance TCU will finish ranked, they'll finish bottom half on the Big 12 this year.

[-] CMLVI@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

It's the classic question of do you prefer a reflective poll or a predictive one. Some people attempt to rank the teams according to where they will finish, others reward past performance. Many try to blend the two, but the implementation is always a point of contention.

I prefer ignoring ranking until about week 5, and then leaning more towards reactive polls rather than predictive. No point in playing the games with predictive polls not penalizing losses.

I think within week 1, keeping TCU and LSU ranked are fine, but if they continue to underperform or other teams overperform, inertia shouldn't keep them in.

[-] CMLVI@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Is there a specific way to join the poll?

[-] g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Submit a ballot next week when I post the link (normally Monday). I'll pin it in the community so if you log in between Monday morning and Tuesday night you can submit. We're still a small enough community that I'm not taking applications or anything and given the ahem geeky? nature of lemmy I trust anyone to be able to understand what that means. I post the unedited results here so you can see if there is any wacky input (week 0 saw west virginia top our poll since someone was having some fun with it and I let it go unmodified). But like I said, feel free to submit your ballot next week.

I'm a WVU fan and you do not have to worry about blind optimism by me. Not while Neal Clown is still coaching, at least...

Will do! Just gotta remember to throw it in
