College Football Rankings



Whew, has anybody caught their breath yet?
College football has long been a blast, but this was intoxicating, captivating and downright exhausting.
One of the arguments against a playoff in college football was that it would somehow ruin the week-to-week drama and suspense?

AP Photo/Rogelio V. SolisAfter an upset win over Alabama, Ole Miss is off to its first 5-0 start since 1962.
Let's revisit that theory after surveying the carnage in what was a head-spinning Week 6 in a sport that seems to get more entertaining by the minute.
Not only did five of the top eight teams in the Associated Press poll go down in the same week for the first time in history (the AP poll dates back to 1936), but right there, front and center in the College Football Playoff conversation, are some not-so-usual suspects.
Case in point: The state of Mississippi has all of a sudden become football nirvana, so much so that they're dreaming about the Egg Bowl deciding the champion in the SEC West, which might as well be the ninth-toughest division in the NFL.
Ole Miss sent No. 3 Alabama packing, a riveting 23-17 win before a raucous crowd in Oxford that was sealed by Senquez Golson's spectacular interception in the back of the end zone. And earlier in the day, not quite two hours south in the Magnolia State, Dak Prescott and Mississippi State blew past No. 6 Texas A&M for a 48-31 win, the Bulldogs' second straight triumph over a top-10 foe.
There have been some great players, games and moments when it comes to football in the state of Mississippi, but nothing quite like this.

"I came here and the 2013 class came here to change the culture around here," said Ole Miss sophomore defensive tackle Robert Nkemdiche, who was the No. 1 player in the country when he signed with the Rebels last year. "We came here to do something different. I could have gone to Bama or LSU but wanted to come here and make a difference, and that's what we did."
The unbeaten Rebels also played a prominent role in shaking up the college football hierarchy on what was a deliciously unpredictable week of football that started late Thursday night on the West Coast with No. 2 Oregon's stunning 31-24 upset loss at home to Arizona.
And while we're talking about some of the new faces in this whole playoff debate, what about Rich Rodriguez's Wildcats, who at 5-0 are the only unbeaten team in the Pac-12. Nobody was talking about Arizona back in August when breaking down a Pac-12 race that was supposed to go through Eugene, Oregon, Palo Alto, California, or Los Angeles.
It still might, too, but all four of the nationally ranked teams in those cities -- Oregon, Stanford, UCLA and USC -- lost this week. The grand total of ranked teams losing this week was 11, and there are only 10 unbeaten teams remaining in the FBS ranks -- and we're barely one week into the month of October.
Little did we know that the chaos was just beginning Thursday night with Arizona's ambush of Oregon and Marcus Mariota's Duck Parade. That was just an appetizer.
Not too long after the goal posts were ripped down at Ole Miss' Vaught-Hemingway Stadium and paraded to the Square in downtown Oxford, Mississippi, TCU was finishing off a 37-33 upset of No. 4 Oklahoma. The Sooners were unable to survive even after coming up with turnovers on back-to-back possessions late in the fourth quarter. It was the biggest splash yet for Gary Patterson's Horned Frogs in the Big 12, and don't look now, but they're unbeaten and sure to move up in the polls.
And how could we forget Notre Dame?
Two years removed from playing in the BCS national championship game, the Irish rallied in the final minutes to edge No. 14 Stanford 17-14 to keep their record unblemished. Quarterback Everett Golson wasn't at his best for much of the game, but he was clutch when it counted. His 23-yard touchdown pass to Ben Koyack came on fourth-and-11 and won it for the Irish with 1:01 to play.
Golson's game winner was hardly the play of the day. That distinction belonged to Arizona State's Mike Bercovici, who uncorked a 46-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass to Jaelean Strong on the final play of the game to stun USC 38-34 in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Yep, it was that kind of day, and more are sure to follow as we look ahead to the College Football Playoff committee's first official ranking on Oct. 28.
At this rate, there might not be any unbeaten teams left when we get to that point.
Buckle up, because it's anybody's guess who will still be standing when the four playoff teams are unveiled in December. None of the big boys are really out of it, and that's whether you're partial to Alabama, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Oregon or UCLA.
And, oh yeah, if you really want to know what kind of day it was, it ended with Washington State rolling up 812 yards of total offense and quarterback Connor Halliday setting a new FBS passing record with 734 yards -- and the Cougars somehow losing 60-59 to Cal.
Get some rest. We're all going to need it.

Alabama Football

Don't blame the turnovers, the penalties and the injuries that afflicted the visitors. Don't for one minute do what Alabama fans tend to do as a defense mechanism at moments like this. Don't suggest for a second that Alabama lost this football game all by its lonesome.

Sorry, SEC East. This post just isn’t for you.

Sure, we learned about Georgia (Todd Gurley can do anything), Florida (Treon Harris should start) and Kentucky (these Cats are on to something). We even found out, once and for all, that South Carolina is a playoff fraud.

But in the end, it was in the West that we learned the most.

Stacy Revere/Getty ImagesBrandon Holloway and Mississippi State showed they are SEC West contenders by thumping Texas A&M on Saturday.
1. You’ve got to Hail State: Welcome to the Mississippi State bandwagon, everyone. I’ve kept your seats warm for you this whole time. I understood how you were skeptical those first three games against nonconference cupcakes Southern Miss, UAB and South Alabama. I even got how you weren’t completely sold after the Bulldogs went on the road and beat LSU this past week. But if you aren’t ready to go all-in after the way State trounced Texas A&M, 48-31, on Saturday, there’s no helping you. Geoff Collins’ defense might be the best in the SEC. Did you see the way the front seven affected Kenny Hill and the Aggies’ passing game? Dak Prescott, meanwhile, is now a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender. I know you saw how he imposed his will against A&M and scored with his arm and his legs. With Prescott leading the charge and that defense behind him, there’s nothing stopping the Bulldogs from taking a shot at the division crown. It’s a radical idea, I know, but it’s time to start accepting this brave new world we live in.

2. A Rebel yell: Ole Miss didn’t play well for the better part of three quarters. Bo Wallace was doing his usual Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing, and the running game was practically nonexistent. The missed face mask call that resulted in a fumble return for a touchdown right before halftime seemed like the type of play that would decide the game. Ole Miss would fold under its own disappointment, and Alabama would come out in the second half and pull away. But then Ole Miss grew up. It wasn’t three quarters of maturation from the Rebs on Saturday night; it was three decades' worth. What Hugh Freeze has done is completely change the way Ole Miss thinks of itself. We saw that against Alabama. Wallace didn’t beat himself up after a few early mistakes; he got right back in the saddle. The defense, which fought valiantly with little help, never gave up in the 23-17 win. And when Ole Miss absolutely needed a big play, it got it -- twice. Wallace threw a game-winning touchdown pass, and Senquez Golson followed that up with a game-clinching interception. In doing so, Ole Miss proved it belonged. It proved, despite what we might think about football in the Magnolia State, these guys really can play.

3. Alabama isn’t dead: Take the emotions of the game out of it. Let’s think about this like the College Football Playoff selection committee might. Alabama lost to a team ranked in the top 15. It lost on the road. And it lost in the final few minutes. It lost a game in which its quarterback had a subpar performance; its most explosive weapon on offense, Kenyan Drake, was knocked out of the game in brutal fashion; and two starters, linebacker Denzel Devall and center Ryan Kelly, were sidelined with injuries. If there’s such a thing as a quality loss, this was it. It’s not quite Michigan State losing at Oregon, given that Sparty put itself out there scheduling that game, but it’s close. That’s little consolation to Alabama right now, but in a few months, it might mean something. The SEC West is a bear. Who really thinks a team is going to survive the division undefeated? If Alabama can get better play from its offensive line and secondary, what’s to say the Tide can’t get right back in it? A loss at Ole Miss isn’t going to be enough to keep them out.

4. Aggies allergic to defense: In the words of Kevin Sumlin: “What?!” He ought to go up to every defensive player in the locker room and ask that question in a much more hostile tone than he’s become accustomed to. Because the Aggies have no defense, that’s what. Mark Snyder was supposed to coax some improvement out of a defense that was the worst in the SEC the past season, but that hasn’t happened. Players are too often out of position. Tackles too often go missed. Quality execution is too often a foreign concept. The excuse of inexperience has grown tiresome. Go look at the past few recruiting classes -- there’s talent there. It’s time Texas A&M takes a long, hard look in the mirror and decides what it wants to be. Because as out-of-sorts as Hill and the offense looked against Mississippi State on Saturday, they weren’t the problem. You have Myles Garrett. You have Deshazor Everett. It’s time you have some semblance of a defense.

5. And then there’s Auburn: No one is talking about Auburn, and that’s probably the way Gus Malzahn wants it. But week after week, the Tigers keep winning. Forget that Nick Marshall hasn’t become Joe Montana. Forget that the win at Kansas State wasn’t pretty. Forget it because it doesn’t matter. Style points mean nothing. If Saturday showed us anything, it’s that surviving is all that matters. Alabama wishes it could have done that. So do Oregon and Oklahoma. Auburn, for all its supposed flaws, is undefeated and in line to move into the top 3 in the polls. If you don’t think Auburn is good enough to win the West again, I don’t know what to tell you. LSU might not be the team we’ve become accustomed to in recent years, but it’s still LSU. All Auburn did was beat the Bayou Bengals like they stole something. The 41-7 win might not grab the headlines like Ole Miss' and Mississippi State's wins, but it counts the same.

'Bomb Gaza': Users call on Google Play to remove game that lets users carry out Israeli air strikes on Palestinians

Users have called on Google to remove the game, which has been available to download since 29 July

Google is facing criticism for continuing to allow Android mobile users to download a game called “Bomb Gaza”, in which players are required to “drop bombs and avoid killing citizens”.

 

The app, which was uploaded on 29 July, has been installed up to 1,000 times and received at least one report as “inappropriate”. As of Monday evening, the game was no longer available on Google Play.
According to the game’s description and a series of screenshots, users gain points by controlling aircraft marked with Israeli flags as they drop bombs on cartoon Hamas militants.
It comes as more than 1,800 Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing Gaza conflict. Israel has confirmed that 64 of its soldiers have died in combat, while three civilians have been killed by cross-border shelling from Gaza.
Responding to the game in its review section online, Iqra Iqbal wrote that it was an “abomination”, adding: “This is a violation of human rights. My beloved brothers and sisters are dying in Gaza and some stupid ignoramus decides to make a game like this.
Others said it was a “messed up game” and “disgusting”, while Saadat Ali said: “Request all to scroll to the bottom and flag this app as inappropriate to Google.”


People also took to Twitter to voice their criticism of the game, and user Elliott Clarkson wrote: “Google Play's approval process? Non-existent. So games like Bomb Gaza get through.”
It is not the only game available on Google Play that involves bombing Gaza, including "Iron Dome", “Gaza Assault: Code Red” that tells users to “secure the region” by taking control of “an Israeli UAV equipped with powerful weapons in an attempt to secure the region”.


 A spokesman from Google said that the company does not comment on specific apps, but that it "remove[s] apps from Google Play that violate our policies."

 


why are bubbles round ?

Although this is not always the case you may have noticed this yourself, in some cases, however, the bubbles in a circular shape, although most of the times were not as well as they are trying to take a circular shape as much as possible. The reason lies in the phenomenon of "cohesion - cohesion" as these bubbles are only very thin layers of liquid material that originated them and their fractions, which together hold together because of attractive forces between them.

This arises from what is known as surface tension, which works to resist anything is trying to transit through it. Inside the bubble of air trapped there who is trying to get out, causing a strain on those layers of liquid "bubble wall" at home and abroad there are a greater quantity of air is also pressing on the other side of the surface of the bubble.

Now for the bubble the best way to resist those forces is to take the form most dense and compact, a circular shape, "remember not being able to break the eggs in case of pressing them vertically because of the principle of distribution of powers." At the present time scientists were able to work bubbles cubic and triangular several ways to study different surfaces from the perspective of engineering.

Now you can also respond to these questions .. why water droplets appear circular in shape, and why air bubbles appear in the water also circular in shape?

What is the theory of relativity ?



When we refer to the theory of relativity, we actually refer to the special theory of relativity theories and both the public and deployed the world Albert Einstein in the early twentieth century, and for non-scientists, it is difficult to understand these theories despite the radical change that has occurred emitted as a result of physics.

     In an attempt to explain the theory simply stated that the man when Oancatin spend an hour doing something he loves and feels like a minute, but let him sit on a hot stove for a minute and feel like an hour

But the details of the theory, of course, is much more complicated, before the relative was believed to everyone that the time and place both fixed values ​​and angle of vision on the ground they are already as well, but Oancatin proved mathematics that perspective the absolute things is illusion and that the time and place can be exposed both to modify and change. It is possible to place that compresses or expands and can rate the passage of time, or at least that increases as well as in the event of exposure to the strong gravitational field or move too quickly.

Examples that illustrate the relative too many you can imagine that with you an hour you by placing them in orbit around the Earth to move too quickly compared to where you are on the ground now if still you can see the time will look smaller than they were when they were in your hands you will also notice that the clockwise spin slower The reason is a phenomenon called "Stretch time - time dilation" assume relative to time and place, both of which have one thing called spacetime, which is affected only by gravity and speed Amany that if there was a body under the influence of the forces of gravity is too large or moving too quickly, the time for this body will become slower compared to the other body is not exposed to the same forces. 


These may seem assumptions illogical and strange but it's actually true, as I mentioned examples that support in our lives many, for example, the Global Positioning System GPS depends on the specific measurements of time positioning on the earth revolves satellites of this system on the ground quickly 14 thousand kilometers at a great speed compared Bsratna on the ground and thus in the case has not set the hours of system engineers on the ground to compensate for the time difference caused by the speed of those sites will see us on the map, just 10 kilometers from the real site.

Can you think of some examples that support relative of the reality of life?
