I feel bad about this week. Penn State feels like a trap game against Ohio State this weekend.

The criteria for artists they provide is not good. Maybe Ireland is different, but I think broadly, we need more bridge builders than music bands. Both require skill, practice, hardwork and require "art" skills. The difference is, people tend to care about the oversaturated one more. We need both, but one is much more underutilized.

What a joke. What coach is out there that will do better?

This poll is so funny. Georgia and Tennessee go into overtime. Georgia wins, and is not the best team in the country. Tennessee loses close to the best team in the country, and are kicked out of the poll. lol

Thanks running this.

Noob question about Lemmy. Are mentions like the one in this post supposed to notify me? I thought that was the case, but I'm not getting anything. I'm just wondering if I have the wrong name listed.

Some wide swings. South Carolina, Miami, and Texas all dropping by 9, 7, and 6 with a win is incredible.

LSU in first without a first place vote is funny.

Yeah baby, got a point.

This week felt like a really good slate. Good job picking the games.

Yeah, that is sound logic for a computer poll. Really just week one jank that will even itself out. Although, Iowas State being #1 wouldn't be bad...

I was just about to ask for an explanation about Iowa State getting a first place vote, then I saw Maryland got a first place vote (their only points), and now I need an explanation even more.

Well, at least my poll won't be the most unusual. Here is my poll, just to show that I am not afraid to share either. Feel free to poke it. It is all human.

1. Ohio State
2. LSU
3. Penn State
4. Oregon
5. Miami
6. South Carolina
7. Georgia
8. Iowa State
9. Arizona State
10. SMU
11. Clemson
12. Illinois
13. Texas
14. Notre Dame
15. Indiana
16. Texas Tech
17. Florida State
18. Michigan
19. Tennessee
20. Florida
21. BYU
22. TCU
23. Alabama
24. USF
25. Nebraska

And the next 5

26. Kansas State

27. UNLV

28. Georgia Tech

29. Utah

30. Oklahoma

I just now saw this, and I submitted my picks. I picked what I honestly would have picked on Friday. Please don't let me win. I submitted just because entrants were still open, and I wanted to have more entrants. I am being honest, but you shouldn't trust me.

Ten sounds like a lot. As I think about it more, I think 6 or 7 sounds like a good amount. One game from SEC, Big 10, BigXII, and Acc. One G5/6 game guarantee. Then a wild card or two.

Wild card would provide the flexibility we would want with how big these conferences are. There may be a time where we want 2 SEC games in a week. I wouldn't want it be just the second best SEC game, but I would hope we could get marquee FCS games in there. Or a sicko game if two 0-7 teams meet. These could even be for the games with the smallest spread (a true toss up). We could even use it for independent games so we get Uconn in there. Or we scould say GameDay/Big Noon's location is one of the wild card slots

I did a quick look, and these are what I think week 1 would look like, if we did this strategy. P4 LSU @ Clemson Georgia Tech @ Colorado Texas @ Ohio State Syracuse @ Tennessee

Potential G5/6 UTEP @ Utah State (close spread)

Potential Wild Card Idaho @ Washington State (The Battle of the Palouse rivalry game) Sacrament State @ South Dakota State (Preseason FCS #14 @ #3)

I ignored all week 0 games. For conference affiliation, I just went with the home team. There are other notable games, but I tried to have a balance (Sorry Notre Dame @ Miami). If you did want ten, you can add these 3.

Appalachian State @Charlotte (close spread) Georgia Southern @ Fresno State (close spread) Notre Dame @ Miami

Anyway, I hope that visually gives you some idea of what it would look like. I am fine with any number between 5-10. I am favoring 7, just because I think that gives a good variety without being too much (and if you get all 7, you can call it a touchdown or something).
