Ryan Aber should lose all rights to voting, he clearly doesn't watch College football.
August 15th, 2023 at 7:41 PM ^
Just for the CFB top-25 or all voting rights? I'd be happy with either.
August 16th, 2023 at 1:01 AM ^
Blue - is “both” an optional answer to your question of Top 25 or all voting rights?
August 15th, 2023 at 9:42 PM ^
Well in other news about recruiting the Smith twins just got 3 CB flips to Kentucky. I don't understand why they would go there over Michigan? I know they just moved back but other then that the only thing that makes sense is they are getting paid.
So we know have lost 3 DL in less then a week for other schools paying them money.

Doesn’t the NCAA enforce the “no pay for play” standard / direction for NIL? Oh, how foolish of me - I answered my own question.
Yes, the NCAA is responsible for the NIL guideline and enforcing it. It appears they are more interested in finding the Hamburgler. Ronald McDonald may not be pleased with the result.
August 16th, 2023 at 8:06 AM ^
The part I love about all of this is that the Michigan fans are living rent free in the NCAA’s heads. Harbaugh, nor the University, have made any comment about the “investigation”, yet the NCAA felt the need to comment about cheeseburgers completely from the comments of the fans.
Hey, NCAA: no one likes you. Not even your mothers. Eat that!
August 15th, 2023 at 7:02 PM ^
Some of these voters are just stupid and/or brain dead
August 15th, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^
There are times when graphs and charts aid comprehension and understanding. This is not one of those times
August 15th, 2023 at 7:06 PM ^
Sorry. I thought it was fun to make to see patterns. Looks better on a laptop I guess
August 15th, 2023 at 7:14 PM ^
I think it looks great. Easy to see where Michigan is across the board. And easy to see where the ppl who rank us low rank osu
August 15th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
That was good work. Thanks! On a laptop and zoomed a bit it is easy to see.
August 15th, 2023 at 8:33 PM ^
it doesn’t.
August 15th, 2023 at 8:46 PM ^
I like it. On a laptop screen, it's very clear.
August 16th, 2023 at 8:06 AM ^
It looks fine, and I'm on a cell phone
August 15th, 2023 at 7:24 PM ^
I think this version is a bit easier to digest.
August 15th, 2023 at 7:39 PM ^
It's actually great that they give each voter's top-25 ballot. It should (theoretically) prevent major cases of homerism and keep the voters somewhat accountable.
But then again, with how batshit crazy some CFB fans can be, I'm not sure I'd want my ballot made public. I'd hate to see some of the DMs these people get from people pissed about where there team was ranked. 🤷♂️
August 15th, 2023 at 7:55 PM ^
All I see is GMO. Now I wish some Pac-12 homer voted Washington, Oregon, Ohio, Georgia, Alabama for the WOOGA. Or Tennessee, Ohio, Georgia, Alabama for the TOGA. Hell, why couldn't the Duke guy homer it up and bless us with DOGMA?
August 15th, 2023 at 8:18 PM ^
I was today years old when I realized July August September October November spells JASON
August 15th, 2023 at 8:24 PM ^
I know. It's weird, right?
August 15th, 2023 at 8:28 PM ^
Wow, only in preseason will Jon Wilner NOT be in the bottom 10. Guy uses a dartboard.
Btw props to u/bakonydraco who creates these charts. And the accompanying visual distribution chart by u/perryapsis (hope it re-sizes right)
August 15th, 2023 at 8:44 PM ^
Lotsa work! But very informative. Thanks for sharing.
August 15th, 2023 at 9:21 PM ^
Weirdest version of Minesweeper I've seen.
August 15th, 2023 at 8:02 PM ^
Then make your own thing and let’s see how good it is. Until then, be quiet.
August 15th, 2023 at 7:16 PM ^
Reese Davis knows all!
August 15th, 2023 at 7:44 PM ^
Unfortunately, pretty much every Rece Davis pick on that chart bar Michigan is crap.
August 15th, 2023 at 8:21 PM ^
So you think...
August 15th, 2023 at 7:20 PM ^
Never seen him before but that Ryan Aber dude looks like an idiot.
August 15th, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
Can confirm:
August 15th, 2023 at 8:06 PM ^
Jesus. I’ll bet that guy’s ass hair could filter pond water.
August 16th, 2023 at 8:52 AM ^
Please. I hike and need to filter water on occasion.
August 15th, 2023 at 7:31 PM ^
Dave can stick that fifth place vote up his Reardon.
August 15th, 2023 at 7:36 PM ^
It could just be me, but
It reminds me of those magic eye pictures back in the day. If I stare at it long enough, will I see an image?
Ryan Aber must also work in the ncaa offices.
August 15th, 2023 at 8:05 PM ^
Don't care where Michigan starts in the polls, it just matters where they end up. I have no problem with doubters we prove wrong - probably better than hypers who get disappointed or distracted by the next shiny new thing. Just win.
August 15th, 2023 at 8:20 PM ^
LET'S GO RECE. Maybe not the most exciting guy on TV, but I don't think anyone ever complains about you.
August 15th, 2023 at 8:21 PM ^
Fuck Oklahoma
August 15th, 2023 at 8:41 PM ^
I think Robert Cessna just took a flyer on OSU.
August 16th, 2023 at 1:06 AM ^
The team should just place a photo of Ryan Aber and his top 25 list in a spot where they look at it several times per day. And, put a pic of the guy who voted the Buckeyes #1 next to it.
August 16th, 2023 at 1:09 AM ^
The AP and coaches polls usually mirror each other - within a few places. This season is no different - for the Top 27 teams.
I’d welcome seeing the coaches ballots with their names attached.
August 16th, 2023 at 6:32 AM ^
Looks like Oregon has a pulse.
