I will crosspost this to lemmy.world, only fill out one ballot please. Week 0 is in the books, let's see how this shakes up our polling. As previously discussed I will be posting the results on Wednesday of each week. Mods is there an appetite to make the results reflected in the banner?

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.

Rk	Week 0	Week 1	Change
1	Georgia	Georgia
2	Michigan	Michigan
3	Ohio State	Ohio State

5	Penn State	Penn State

7	SoCal	LSU	1
8	LSU	Oregon	1
9	Oregon	Notre Dame	7
10	TCU	TCU

12	Tennessee	SoCal	-5
13	clemson	Tennessee	-1
14	Florida State	clemson	-1

I can't believe Alex Grinch keeps getting away with it. How many times does he have to teach us that his defenses are not to be trusted? Still, dropping 5 spots after a week 0 game is extreme, but I respect the willingness to ditch poll inertia.

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
