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.
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.
