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.
- Alabama
- Texas
- Tennessee

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.

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.

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 used to use the [gitlab mirror](https://gitlab.com/gentoo/gentoo) to browse the ebuilds; I prefer the gitlab UX to the github UX. But, for some reason, it stopped getting updates several months ago. Anyone know what happened?

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.

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.

I thought this was an interesting play (~10:57). Motion, fake hand off; ball is pitched to number 5, who runs backwards trying to find an open receiver. Breaks a tackle while being facemasked, throws the ball. Ball is tipped, and a Montana player catches it off the bounce.

https://archive.ph/M9B61 > South Alabama unveiled its uniform combination late Thursday via a short video on social media — white pants, white jerseys and white helmets. But an added touch is an alternate logo that includes the standard Jaguar head between two halves of the Mardi Gras harlequin, with “Mobile 1703″ (the year of the city’s first Mardi Gras celebration) on a banner beneath. > But the “coup de gras” (so to speak) is on the back of the helmet, which reads “Home of Mardi Gras” on the bumper plate. Though New Orleans is more famous for Mardi Gras, Mobile actually began its celebration in 1703, some 150 years before New Orleans first did in 1857.

https://archive.is/zWrHd > Kansas offensive lineman Joseph Krause was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with "aggravated criminal threat; cause terror, evacuation or disruption," according to documents obtained by Shreyas Laddha of the Kansas City Star. Krause's arrest came hours after an apparent bomb threat was called into the Kansas football facilities. > Kansas athletics and local police declined to confirm that Krause was arrested in connection with the threat against the athletic facilities. The buildings were fully evacuated as law enforcement swept the area. Krause was booked into Douglas County Jail at 4:35 p.m. CT on Monday. > "Out of an abundance of caution, the Anderson Family Football Complex, Beatty Family Pavilion and David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium were evacuated and checked by law enforcement officers," University of Kansas police chief Damon Tucker told the Kansas City Star. "No devices were found, and police issued an all-clear at approximately 8:01 p.m. > "A subject was identified and arrested for making the threats. Law enforcement will not be releasing the name of the suspect at this time." > Krause was set to enter his fourth season with the program after walking on with the Jayhawks in the Class of 2020 from Shawnee Mission East (Kansas). He appeared in two games for Kansas as a true freshman but did not play each of the past two seasons.
