Week 1 Voting - SportsHoopla's 2019 Week 1 Voting Thread

I know, I am a day early with Notre Dame vs Louisville tomorrow. If you want to wait until after the game to post, then do so. You can always change your picks (change them on the Voting Thread) after the game and before the deadline. I think ND will win, so that is how I voted. I'll change it if Louisville wins.

Looks like I actually have to wait for ND/Louisville to end

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

I forgot to rank Florida. I'll wait until after the game is over too before I make my changes.

Anyone else debating ranking Oregon above Auburn?

H2H is all you can go by but the way that game went I get the feeling Oregon wins 4 out of 5.

After Week 1, H2H is all you can go by. As more weeks happen and teams have good and bad games, Oregon can earn their way above Auburn. But the Auburn won the 1 out of 1 game that matters, so Auburn is going to be ranked higher at this point.

Oregon dominated the 1st half with their speed. Should've put the game away. But Auburn completely gashed them the 2nd half on the ground. If either one of those teams had a clear home advantage, it would've swung that way. I just swap their spots.

I'm not sure about that though. Auburn starting a true freshman means they should get better as the year goes on.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Updated. I forgot Iowa too.

No way I'm ranking Nebraska or Iowa State off their performances against clearly inferior teams.

No problem leaving out Cincinnati & Army. Both should've blown out their opponent but were sloppy in the opener. Prove it games against Ohio State & Michigan.

You want me to put that poll in or is that a joke? If that is your true ballot, I will put it in.

Thank you for asking. Not a joke. Put it in! If everybody already has the perfect answers, we don't need a poll.

Alright.

 

[The Crimson King]

This is why we can't have nice things

 

[78Cyclones]

Alright.

Just so you know, I respect what you are doing, and I am not trying to be a clown or mess with the poll. I just start each season without any pre-conceived ideas and work it out from there based on results. Therefore, I am very fluid in my process. Like I said, if somebody already has all of the answers, we don't need a poll. Cheers!

Don't include it. Our poll will have Illinois in the top 25 based on him having them in the top 5. Hell Rutgers might sneak into the top 25 of this poll.

 

[MVCgangster]

I watched every single game this weekend I didn’t see a single team, player, or coach that I would settle for in my culture. They all were complete shit and in need of personality restructurement

So? What's the point of a poll if you are going to pre-assign your beliefs on others? Illinois and Rutgers are just as deserving as any others at this point. If they are not next week, out they go!

Illinois won't be ranked. He is the 6th ballot and it bumped Illinois to #25. They will quickly get burried. At least he picked teams that won.

And they ALL beat FBS teams.
