I feel like the end zone is what makes it feel so similar to /r/cfb, not the ranking.

Of these, I think the second option makes the most sense

I’m really trying to make my ballot an estimation of the final poll, rather than a weekly power ranking.

Poll inertia must die for this to be reality

Here's my breakdown with a comparison.

I was really impressed with Hartman at ND so they got a big bump. I thought they'd be good, but I didn't anticipate how good they'd look on offense with Hartman.

I don't know why I expected SoCal to be better on defense. The offense looks to be fine, but you really can't just count on outscoring every team every week. so they dropped a good bit.

I'll try to avoid poll inertia as we move into week one, so I'd expect my ballot to rapidly change week-to-week.

1 Georgia Georgia
2 Michigan Michigan
3 Ohio State Ohio State

I never heard anything about ‘Crashing’ on HBO before just stumbling on it in the HBO app.

It’s a pretty funny show about a standup comedian trying to make it in NY while dealing with a divorce. It kind of feels like Louie if the protagonist had a positive outlook on life.

It’s not the greatest show ever, but it blows my mind that I’d never heard of it at all

But 53% of Americans say learning how to budget and track expenses is the most valuable money lesson they've learned, according to a recent survey of over 1,000 Americans from financial services company Empower. Having an emergency fund and avoiding excessive debt followed closely, each with 50% or more of respondents naming them as valuable lessons.

I’m a good ways away from retirement (unfortunately), but I’ve always run my retirement scenarios with no SS included in my math.

I think it’ll still be there in some capacity in 20-30 years, but I have no idea what it’ll look like, so it’s easier to plan without it and be better off if it is impactful in the future.

Large trucks in this instance are things like 18-wheelers, not trucks like the Ford F-150 or Dodge Ram.

“Fuck you money” to me is where I don’t need to work at all. Unless I am truly financially independent, I haven’t reached “fuck you money” status

The commitment to tweet-like self posts is what made me leave. I don’t like posting an image or article without being able to provide a title.

Sources: ACC Presidents met tonight and the pursuit of Stanford and Cal for conference membership has “hit significant roadblocks.” There’d always been long odds because there wasn’t ever a significant value add. Source

Tom Scott - short documentaries about places and things that are are out of the ordinary

Climate Town - comedic video essays on how certain parts of our lives impact the climate

CGP Grey - in-depth animated video essays on nerdy topics like flag designs or airport runway numbering

Dashner Design and Reatoration - realistic furniture restoration where the guy is honest about flaws and failed techniques. Not too much talking, but enough to let you know why he’s doing certain things

Washington State AD Pat Chun: "There's a century of history that has gone by the wayside because this conference has mismanaged itself on a bunch of different levels. And when you have poor leadership, one of the outcomes is failure. That's what has happened to the Pac-12."
