2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
BYU is not a playoff quality team. Not even close. I don't see Big12 having more than one team in, just like last year. And it should be whichever team wins the CCG. ACC is even worse, with no SMU-type team to fuck things up by being undefeated until losing to a Clemson-type team in the CCG. I see only four teams outside B1G and SEC getting in: G5, ACC Champ, Big12 Champ, and Notre Dame.

The only billionaires I can think of who have improved where they live or work have been the Waltons who poured a lot of money into making Northwest Arkansas somewhat tolerable, in an effort not to drive talented employees away from their corporate headquarters. Usually it's assholes like Mark Zuckerberg running illegal cult schools.

When a team keeps making the same mistakes, you start to wonder about the coach.

That, or republicans are just incredibly unpopular and Spanberger is fortunate not to have needed to fend off a well-funded independent in a general election.

I find it fascinating we've heard zero news or updates about Tyler Robinson or the criminal case against him.

That's the one pick that stood out to me, more than the Bonilla pick. But fuck it he's got an absolute and irrevocable mandate to institute sharia law and communism in the five boroughs. I'm not worried about a lowly transition team member who accepted a job from Turkey's best friend.

How many people can say they've worked for an NYC mayoral administration in the 21st Century? You definitely wouldn't hire anyone from Giuliani's or Eric Adams' administration. That leaves Bloomberg and de Blasio. Mamdani made no secret about the fact he believed that de Blasio was the best mayor in his relatively short lifetime, so it's not that crazy to see de Blasio alums on the transition team. He's a mayor who has actually frozen the rent before, after all. Bonilla is one of those people who made a career out of serving vulnerable communities and was hired by Bloomberg to do woke DEI stuff, and she's someone de Blasio kept on for more woke DEI stuff. If Mamdani wants to supercharge public service to lower-income New Yorkers, it would be hard to think of someone with a better resume. Are there other candidates who could serve on the transition team? Possibly, but if they haven't worked for de Blasio, they aren't going to have as much experience doing this specific job in that specific place. NYC Mayor's office is a blueblood P4 program. Success and experience at a G5 or a lower-level P4 might not necessarily translate to success at the blueblood. I think these are all good hires. Especially Lina Khan.

How many living people, under retirement age, have experience with these particular bureaucracies? Should he have gone the Trump route of hiring HEB bagboys to head up the nation's cybersecurity agency?

Political malpractice not to unleash this before 2024 election, especially with the knowledge of how weak Biden and Harris were as candidates.
