  • I submitted mine this morning, and I have roughly 0% confidence in any of them. This season feels completely wide open with a lot of surprising teams hanging around late in the season.

    Once the official first ranking comes out tonight, I'll submit my CFP 12 so everyone can laugh at it with me.

    Edit: updating to show my predictions:

    1. Oregon

    If the Longhorns and the Aggies both make it to Thanksgiving with only one loss, the hype is going to be unreal.

    • c/cfb Week 8 Poll

    Jump

  • Hey everyone! Sorry for being silent the first half of this season...real life got in the way of football polling. But I'm back, and I've made some changes to my algorithm from last year. The overview/highlights:

    • Fully computer poll, based primarily on the ranking of your opponents and secondarily how much your margin of victory/defeat was
    • The full season is re-run each week with the current week's rankings. So if you beat a top-10 team in Week 1, but later in the season that top-10 team isn't ranked, then that win doesn't benefit your current ranking as much as it originally did
    • Poll is agnostic towards conference, pre-season rankings, weekly AP polls, etc. There aren't any name recognition bumps here, it's purely based on resume
    • The number in parenthesis after the team's name are the behind-the-scenes points that determines the ranking (on a scale from 1 to 134), so you can get an idea of how closely some teams are ranked to each other (an how much stronger Texas is than the next team)

  • But they didn't say that though?

    They pointed out those countries also have jails/prisons that detain people against their will. That isn't the same as saying the systems are identical.

    • What are your plans for the weekend?

    Jump

  • It's my wife's birthday this weekend so we're going out with a bunch of friends. This is extra special because we scored a babysitter for our one-year-old, and we haven't really been out together much since he's been born. We're gonna go hard.

    That, and Helldivers II, if the servers will let me in.

    • How Marvel Is Quietly Retooling Amid Superhero Fatigue

    Jump

  • ...though sources say that even before Majors’ conviction, the studio was making moves to minimize the character after Quantumania underperformed, grossing $476 million

    Jonathan Majors-related stuff aside, this sentence makes me shake my head.

    Why does it seem like Hollywood always takes the wrong lesson from box office results? Quantumania isn't well received, and instead of assuming it's because of the bad script or bad story or rushed CGI, their impulse is to retool their entire franchise to minimize a character? Especially a character who people were generally into (at that time, at least...again, Majors stuff aside).

    People disliked Quantamania not because of Kang, people disliked it because it wasn't a good movie. Maybe if you tie good stories and good filmmaking to your multi-billion dollar franchise and stop plopping out half thought out turds, then people will go see your movie.

  • My poll this week. Thoughts first:

    • Teams 1-3 are clustered close together, then teams 4-6 are clustered close together, and there is a Big drop after No 7 Alabama.
    • My spreadsheet doesn't take kindly to late season cupcake games; Florida State, Alabama, Ole Miss all fell despite their wins.
    • Welcome Arizona (my wife's alma matter) to my top 25 for the first time this season
    • JMU stumbled late to perennial giant slayers App State. Does Liberty have what it takes to go the distance?
    • Biggest loser this week was Georgia Southern who dropped 17 ranks after losing to Old Dominion. Biggest winner this week was the aforementioned App State, who rose 16 ranks after topping JMU in overtime.
