  • Question:-How does LSU advance in the BCS rankings after loss to Alabama?
    LSU advanced in the BCS rankings, but how? What teams were ahead of them that also lost in order for them to stay in the top 10?

    Answer:-Oregon and Iowa lost. But, to stay in the top 10 when you were 9 to start is an insult to anyone with an IQ. Teams drop 5 slots or more with a loss this late.

    The sec central office would have to have total control over rankings and outcomes of all games instead of just who wins in their conference. If that was true, so much for any respect they, the BCS, or officiating crews, might have had in anyones mind.
  • Question:-Can anyone explain how the BCS computer rankings are calculated?
    When looking at the BCS rankings on yahoo, the 25 teams get a computer average. For the top 4 It shows:
    #1 LSU 0.940
    #2 Alabama 0.940
    #3 Oklahoma State 1.000
    #4 Standford 0.800

    I know the computer part (1/3rd) of the BCS is an average of 6 different computer systems. But I don't have a clue where those numbers come from.

    Answer:-I'm not a fan of the BCS and I think the whole system is convoluted, but I have figured out the computer systems calculation math. And it is complicated.

    First of all, you can't use the Yahoo Sports BCS rankings page because it doesn't show the individual computer system rankings. The ESPN link below shows them. I'm sure there are many other sites that you could use.

    As you said, there are 6 computer systems that rank the top 25 teams. However, the highest and lowest rankings are tossed out and the remaining 4 are used in the calculation.

    For each of the 4 rankings used, points are awarded using a reverse scale.
    Rank/ Points
    1 / 25
    2 / 24
    3 / 23
    4 / 22
    5 / 21
    6 / 20
    7 / 19
    8 / 18
    etc.
    down to:
    25 / 1

    So a team gets 4 sets of points based on the 4 rankings. They are added up, then divided by 100 to convert to a percentage. The conversion is done so the computer average is on the same numerical basis as the Coaches Poll and Harris Poll and can be averaged with those to come up with the overall BCS ranking.

    The Coaches and Harris polls are done using the same reverse scale for all the rankings from individual voters a team gets. For each of those, the points are totaled up and divided by the number of voters to get the percentages. You can think of the computer system 1/3 as a poll with 4 voters.

    Told you it was complicated. But some examples will clarify it better.

    For this week, Oklahoma State earned these 6 computer systems rankings...
    1 2 1 1 1 1 Toss the highest and lowest.. leaves us with 1 1 1 1.
    So when we assign the points for each ranking, we get 25 25 25 25
    added up that's 100 .. divide by 100 = 1.000

    So that's the Cowboys computer ranking expressed as a percentage to be used in the overall BCS calculation. That happens to be the highest percentage possible and it makes sense because they were ranked #1 by all 4 computer systems used.

    Let's do Standford's...
    computer rankings.. 5 4 6 8 8 5 ... toss high/low ... 5 6 8 5 ... award points ... 21 20 18 21 .. add up.. 80 .. divide by 100 = 0.800

    And Alabama's...
    computer rankings.. 2 3 3 3 2 2 ... toss high/low ... 3 3 2 2 ... award points ... 23 23 24 24 .. add up.. 94 .. divide by 100 = 0.940

    LSU was ranked differently by the computers but ended up with the same percentage as Alabama because when you drop the high and low the same number of points are awarded.
    3 1 2 2 3 3 ... 2 2 3 3 ... 24 24 23 23 ... 94 ... 0.940
  • Question:-Where can I find the Strength of Schedule for the BCS Rankings?
    I was looking through the BCS rankings and did not find the strength of schedule on it. DOes anyone know where I can find that.

    Answer:-The BCS is a joke. For accurate Ratings I use the BGS Power Ratings, found right here on Yahoo!

  • Question:-Does the BCS update their rankings after the Championship Game? Who is ranked higher USC or Texas?
    I have a bet on the "Final BCS Rankings".

    Answer:-The BCS does not release any more rankings after the bowl games, another stupid feature that calls for a playoff! The AP does release a poll, and it can be found at this link www.appoll.com
  • Question:-Does your local newspaper print the BCS rankings?
    The Dallas Morning News prints only the AP rankings. I honestly don't care about the AP poll and I think the newspaper is showing a bias toward its own professional organization by ignoring the BCS.

    Answer:-No
  • Question:-Is the BCS computer rankings projections different from the Preseason rankings in college football?
    For the BCS bowl rankings projection, I am just curious on the ranking difference from the BCS compared with the Preseason rankings. Would they correspond exactly by points? Or would they differ initially? My main point behind this is to wonder since after #3 Oregon lost to #4 LSU, would Oregon still have a chance to go to the BCS National Championship if they lost the home opener but win the rest of the games?

    Answer:-The BCS rankings are released starting in mid October. The calculation for the rankings has 3 parts, 2 opinion polls and a computer ranking system. The polls used are the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll. The computer 1/3 of the BCS is an average of 6 separate computer rankings.

    The USA Today/Coaches Poll releases a preseason ranking and then every week after the season starts. The first Harris Poll is released when the same day the first overall BCS rankings are published.

    Most teams have played 6 or 7 games by the time the BCS rankings start so they will always differ a lot from the preseason rankings. The teams at the top of the rankings may be the same, or close to the same, depending on how they've done at that point in the season.

    It's much better to be undefeated but any of the BCS conference winners with 1 loss will have a shot at getting into the BCS Championship Game. However, it's a long shot for Oregon.

    Oregon is ranked 14th in this weeks Coaches Poll. That puts them behind 3 teams from the Big 12, 2 teams from the Big 10, 2 teams from the ACC, 4 teams from the SEC, and Stanford from the PAC 12.. plus Boise State.

    Obviously, the only impact Oregon can have in the rankings of those teams would be beating Stanford.

    It's likely that 2 or more of those teams will finish the season undefeated. If that happens, it's highly doubtful that Oregon or any team with 1 loss will be ranked #1 or #2.

    And, if all the BCS conference winners have 1 loss, it's unlikely the winner of the PAC 12 will be ranked above SEC, Big 12, or Big 10 conference winners with 1 loss. That's because teams in those conferences are generally considered to have a stronger strength of schedule than Oregon.

    So all that Oregon can do is focus on games week to week, beat Stanford, stay undefeated for the remaining games, win the PAC 12 and watch to see what happens with the other conferences.

    Since teams in the other conferences play each other, I can see Oregon rising up in the rankings to #4 or #5. But it will be very difficult for the Ducks to get the #1 or #2 spot.
  • Question:-How are BCS bowls chosen? Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
    Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?

    Answer:-Once the final BCS rankings are released -- which this year is 12/2 -- the national championship game will take the teams that finish ranked #1 and #2.

    Then, the other four BCS bowls -- Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar -- select the remaining teams. However, you don't have to be in the top 10 to be selected. (For instance, a conference can send a maximum of two teams to BCS games, so if they have 3 teams in the top 10, they can't all go).

    The bowls have conference tie-ins as well, so if Ohio State does not make the championship game, they will go to the Rose Bowl.

  • Question:-has the BCS Rankings ever had 3 weeks in a row where a new #1 was named?
    Just wondering if anyone knows

    Answer:-more than likely nit has happened in the regular poles

    but the BCS doesn't come out until after week 8

    I've tried getting directions, but you have to use the toll road. I'd rather just take Pacific Coast Highway, but I still don't know how to get to San Onofre from there.

    Any directions would be helpful. Thanks.

    Answer:-Coast highway does not extend to the Sano off ramp. Go to the first Off ramp on the freeway south of San Clemente get off there and follow the road that parallels the freeway south towards the state park. Then there are signs to point you in the right direction.
    PS; sometimes there are some pretty long lines that form early in the morning. They only let so many people in. In the old days it was cooler. You actually had to go onto the Marine base to get to the beach. So if you did not have a Sano sticker or a father in the military you couldn't get to the beach without a 3 mile walk. There were a lot less people in the water!!! Have fun!
  • Question:-Do San Onofre State Beach campsites have grills?
    do all san onofre state beach (bluffs) camp sites come with grill grates on the firepits?

    Answer:-The sites I have been to have them. Round steel pits with a full grate. Some may have a half grate. It's been a few years so they may have disappeared by now.

    Here's the number to check 949-492-4872
    you can also check with the ranger at the entrance or the campground host (used to have an RV between trails 4 and 5 next to the surf camp)
  • Question:-Is it ok to go camping in September at San Onofre State Beach in San Diego?
    I'm planning a family camping trip and wanted to know if the weather is still ok in September.

    Answer:-The weather will be fine but camping at San Onofre is not really camping. The "campground" there is nothing more than a parking lot. I would try San Elijo just south of there with actual camping spots right near the beach.
  • Question:-Does anyone know what the large white flowering plants are along Hwy 101 near San Onofre?
    They seem to grow wild. The flowers are very large. It may be some kind of day blooming plant.

    Answer:-Isn't that near the Surfing Spot known as Trestles, if so they're called Beatniks!
  • Question:-How easy is it to get a job at a nuclear powerplant like San Onofre?
    If I have a PhD. in Electrical Engineering and 12 years experience.
    What salary could I expect?

    Answer:-I worked at nuclear power plants for over 30 years and not one PhD of any knid was employed at any of them.
    Engineers at power plants seldom, if ever, design anything. They monitor the condition plant systems and write work and test procedures for their systems. They don't even work on or supervise maintenance of the main generator, transformers or distribution systems. There is a slight advantage to having an MBA, but most management of all types have experience in the operation of nuclear power plants. Plants usualyy contract any services that would be suitable for a PhD, although some corporate level PhDs might be used.
  • Question:-Can you camp using a tent at the bluffs at San Onofre State Beach?
    I'm looking to camp for one night at San Onofre State Beach, I was just wondering if anyone knew first of all the best location to camp there, and also if you can camp using a tent in the Bluffs or if it's only RV. Thanks!

    Answer:-Yes, you can use tents. I've been there tent camping before.
  • Question:-Does the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station ever test its sirens?
    Just a random question, I'm sure it does, but I was curious as to whether or not anyone can send me proof of such.

    Any answer lacking proof will be downrated.

    Answer:-It is an annual event required by federal law. The best way is to google san onofre siren test. I got 813 hits.
  • Question:-Have there been a lot of shark attacks at San Onofre?
    My friends have been surfing and Stand up paddling boarding at San Onofre and have been seen a lot of decent size white sharks. Have there been a lot of attacks there? They want me to go with them soon so is there a better chance of being attacked there or should i just not worry about it and go have fun. thanx for your help

    Answer:-http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Sharks/ISAF/ISAF.htm

    http://sanodaze.blogspot.com/2008/05/3-shark-attacks-have-san-onofre-area-in.html

    I guess the first answer, yes, more than usual. The second is go ahead a surf, "Dr. Ralph also said officials should keep the attacks in perspective.

    "People have a much better chance of dying of food poisoning than being bitten by a shark," he said. "It's far more dangerous driving to the beach than it is getting in the water."
  • Question:-what would happen if the San Onofre nuclear reactors suffered a earthquake and a tsunami?
    they are located in a earthquake prone area right next to the ocean

    Answer:-the san andreas is a slip fault, not a subduction fault, so there won't be a tsunami.
    you could get a tsunami from Asia, or Alaska, but neither is likely to be a serious problem.

    the reactor would be fine in a quake, just as the reactors in Japan did not suffer significant quake damage.

  • Question:-what was the juice detox they talked about on Enews?
    the site they named

    Answer:-Hi there.

    the juice detox talked in enews is a three-week-long “Clean” detox program designed by New York cardiologist and detoxification specialist Dr. Alejandro Junger.

    Here is the article I read about it:


    GOOP: What is Clean?

    Dr. Alejandro Junger: Clean is a program for achieving vibrant health and restoring the body’s own natural ability to heal itself. Clean is a detox program you can easily do at home, with freshly made foods and drinks (A meal replacement shake-supplement version of it is also available in a kit from www.cleanprogram.com.) Under my medical supervision, hundreds of patients over the years have experienced stunning results. Consistently they have reported no complications, and most have found it simple to follow.

    I developed the Clean Program to help treat the chronic symptoms many of us face by addressing them at the root level and restoring our bodies to optimum functioning.

    When our systems are overtaxed, they begin to break down in a multitude of ways. Allergies, headaches, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, weight gain and insomnia are just a few of the symptoms that can result. The majority of these common ailments are the direct result of toxin build-up in our systems that has accumulated during the course of our daily lives.

    Dr. Alejandro Junger: After medical school, I moved to New York to complete my postgraduate training. The drastic change in lifestyle left me 20 pounds overweight, with severe allergies, irritable bowel syndrome and depression, visits to three specialists and taking seven prescription medications. The verdict: “I had a chemical imbalance – my brain was not producing enough serotonin.”


    The human body comes equipped with a highly effective detox system, a team of organs working together to eliminate the toxic waste of normal metabolism, such as uric acid, lactic acid, carbon dioxide, ammonia and homocysteine. Somehow it can even detoxify most of the modern chemicals. The problem is that when the detox organs get overwhelmed, toxins continue circulating and cause inflammation. As a defense, the body generates mucus to coat toxins and trap them in the tissues where they remain when digestion is kept working day in, day out. If they persist over time, toxin and mucus accumulation can cause increased acidity, malfunction and eventually the collapse of all systems, one by one.

    Global toxicity is enough to overflow the body’s detox capacity. Modern habits worsen the problem by keeping the detox process slow. All the different organs of the body need energy to function. Energy distribution has to be prioritized when many systems are being used at the same time or there won’t be enough. The body still gives priority to digestion over detox. For centuries, food was hard to come by. Only recently in evolution do we have food available and eat it 24/7, but our genes still act as if each feeding is the last meal and slow down everything else to concentrate on food. With digestion a full-time job, detox has to wait its turn while toxins keep coming in.

    Modern medicine is detox-blind. Even though this information could save your life, there are no medical specialists dedicated to detect and treat the effects of global toxicity.
    GOOP: How does the Clean Program help to remove these toxins? Is it different from the many other programs out there?
