The single ant to the left can be annoying but I guess we will get used to it. The ant farm above is a different story. If you leave that screen up and say get stuck on hold on the phone with a little elevator music and start staring at it it get's kind of mesmerizing, almost hypnotic.
I keep looking from one to the other waiting for one of them to step out of sequence but can never figure which one might. You've done an amazing job of training those little %&*#@ fellers OBK. I think tomorrow after I eat lunch to relax a few minutes I'll shut the office door, turn off all lights but the screen & start chanting low & slow to myself as I stare at them.
Help me practice now. Chant with me, ahhhmmmmmm, ahhhmmmmmm, ahhhmmmmm.
Repeat chorus.

Has your booster club sent in their $1000 wesite support check made out to Guru's secret slush fund?

play someone who is in the top ten di or top 5 dii , win and more than cover the spread... and the teams you play have winning records against other schools in the top 10

 

[kbjoe1]

the combined record of who you have beat year to date is 4-11 not one team has more than 1 win so far in this season, so their records dont help your ratings.

More importantly,

If you increase/zoom
your computer screen size
you can get the whole screen
filled up with the bugs.
At 300% zoom mine was perfect.
I had 9 little bugs dancin' around all afternoon!
Then I let the projector
broadcast it onto the whiteboard
about 5' X 5'.

Big mistake!!!!!!!!!!
It got my particular students
off their meds real quick!!!!
I mean real quick!!!!!!!!
Had to call a janitor to clean up.
Class was basically over at that point.

Live and learn.

Since they aren't in my top 10 lets see why - - -
Aquila power rankings after each game was played
wk0 - 113.88
wk1 - 106.50 -- What? they won and they went down?????
wk2 - 105.78 -- What? they won and they went down?????
wk3 - 96.90 -- What? they won and they went down?????

It happens, They have to beat the spread, if they don't then they go down a little
The games and the powers:
Aquilla vs Greenville Christian - - - Aquilla by 50.91 Actual margin 22
Aquilla vs Waco Vanguard Colleg - - - Aquilla by 47.56 Actual margin 10
Aquilla vs Calvert - - - Aquilla by 50.78 Actual margin 48
Aquilla vs Coolidge - - - Aquilla by 51.87 Actual margin 46

So Aquila is the victim of a easy schedule - they will go up when they play and beat better teams. This is overly simplified because the algorithms that calculate the points added or subtracted do not produce a straight slope but have varying amounts of curve.

I wonder why/if some
football freak/math teacher
isn't using these ranking systems
to teach algorithms/graphing?



(my team is better)
