GreatSchools Rating
This a great school the staff is welcoming and the principal is great! I really enjoy volunteering and interacting with the staff and students.
West Mound is an amazing school. Mrs. Moore-Tyler and al the staff work very hard to ensure the success of our children! EVERY CHILD COUNTS! And I love the school.
This used to be a great school. The new principal Mrs. Moore-Tyler is horrible. Her arrogance and straight face is not welcoming at all. The last straw of many for me was when she bought cupcakes for the whole school for HER birthday knowing it was against school policy. Horrible principal.
All my Grand Children have went there and have had great success with learning and very much love the teachers there. They have a great staff and go that extra mile to help kids!
I love the School and wouldn't have any other wat!
I think this is a great school. Great learning atmosphere, and teachers really care about the students.
West Mound Elementary has room for improvement. There are limited extracurricular activities at sporatic intervals. The school lacks consistancey in these activities, as well as in classroom discipline. Intelligent children are not often challenged, nor are they encouraged to strive for their full potential. This is a school designed for the average. On the bright side, the principal is excellent. She is trying to better her school. Unfortunately, change and challenge is often met with resistance from those satisfied with the status quo, and from those who call for change yet are unwilling to experience the sacrifices involved.

Poor old Turner: one minute the critics were singing his praises, the next they were berating him for being senile or infantile, or both. No great painter suffered as much from excesses of adulation and execration, sometimes for the same painting. "Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying—Typhon Coming On" had, on its appearance at the Royal Academy, in 1840, been mocked by the reviewers as "the contents of a spittoon," a "gross outrage to nature," and so on. The critic of the Times thought the seven pictures—including "Slavers"—that Turner sent to the Royal Academy that year were such "detestable absurdities" that "it is surprising the [selection] committee have suffered their walls to be disgraced with the dotage of his experiments." John Ruskin, who had been given "Slavers" by his father and had appointed himself Turner's paladin, not only went overboard in praise of his hero but drowned in the ocean of his own hyperbole. In the first edition of "Modern Painters" (1843), Ruskin, then all of twenty-four, sternly informed the hacks that "their duty is not to pronounce opinions upon the work of a man who has walked with nature threescore years; but to impress upon the public the respect with which they [the works] are to be received."
The reasons for both the sanctification and the denunciation were more or less the same: Turner's preference for poetic atmospherics over narrative clarity, his infatuation with the operation of light rather than with the objects it illuminated. His love affair with gauzy obscurity, his resistance to customary definitions of contour and line, his shameless rejoicing in the mucky density of oils or in the wayward leaks and bleeds of watercolors—these were condemned as reprehensible self-indulgence. Sir George Beaumont, collector, patron, and, as he supposed, arbiter of British taste, complained noisily of Turner's "vicious practice" and dismissed his handling of the paint surface as "comparatively, blots." The caustic essayist William Hazlitt was especially troubled by Turner's relish of visual ambiguity: the sharp line melting into the swimming ether. Contrary to Ruskin, Hazlitt thought it was unseemly for Turner to fancy himself playing God, reprising the primordial flux of Creation. Someone, Hazlitt commented, had said that his landscapes "were pictures of nothing and very like."
But that is precisely what we do like, do we not? Turner's art of conjuring something from nothing, and then (unlike God) having the temerity to deposit the working trace of that mysterious process on the canvas, has made him a paragon for modernists. He seems to have understood picturing as a collaborative process between the artist's hand and the beholder's eye, in which the former laid down suggestive elements and the imaginative observer assembled them in his mind to make a coherent subject. Sometimes he would help the process along, sometimes not. But he was much taken by the indeterminacy of the exercise, by forms that escaped resolution. The sobriety of the hard edge became, one has to think, a sign of conceptual banality, a weakness in the mind's eye. For him the purest form, and one that he repeatedly returned to, was also the most naturally unstable: the rainbow.
Taken to task by an American buyer for the indistinctness of the very beautiful 1832 painting "Staffa, Fingal's Cave"—Hebridean cliffs veiled by streaming rain and sea spray—Turner, through an intermediary, begged the American's pardon, for "indistinctness is my fault." But, as that vice turned—for his modernist apostles—into a virtue, the script changed, and Turner was apocryphally made over into the defiant independent who had wanted the American to know that "indistinctness is my forte."
It's often said that Turner had only two true subjects: the anatomy of light and what Ruskin nicely called the "palpitating" vitality of paint itself. His learned preoccupation with optics, the struggles to analyze and represent the diffusion of light, fathered a poetry of radiance and grandfathers him into the ancestry of Impressionism; his emotively weighty manipulation of pigment did the same for Expressionism. So it is the Turners that most affronted the stuffy Victorians, mired as they were in anecdotal sentimentality and ponderous literalism, with which we most easily identify: pictures big with prophetic courage, the inkling of an alternative life for paint. With Turner, so this story goes, the story doesn't matter; it's the opera of the drenching colors, the unloosed play of the brush, the gouge of his untrimmed thumbnail scoring a groove through the sticky pigment— that's his claim to immortality. Why should he give a fig about all those gods and heroes and Scriptures and battles?
Except that he did, obstinately and passionately, as the National Gallery's show, opening in October, blazingly demonstrates. The procession of phenomenal narrative pictures that constitute its core makes it clear that we do Turner no favors by pinning the tinny little medal of First Modernist on him. Subject matter meant a great deal to him, and if claiming him for the poetry or the physics of light blinds us to the seriousness with which he yearned to be Britain's first great history painter, he would not have thanked us. What, I believe, he wanted us to see was that, as far as the monumental oils were concerned, all his radical formal experimentation—the trowellings and the "mortary" quality of the paint surface that his critics complained of, the scrapings and rubbings and stainings—was at the service of those grand narratives. It's correct to think of light as his subject, but when he was most ambitious light was a protagonist in an epic narrative of creation and destruction—an Anglo-Zoroastrian burnout.

• bailiwick •
Printable Version Pronunciation: bay-lê-wik • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. The jurisdiction of a bailiff (or bailie), a sheriff or magistrate in England, and perhaps a few other countries. 2. An estate manager. 3. An area of familiarity or expertise, as London or car repair might be someone's bailiwick of expertise.
Notes: Today's word is not related to the Old Bailey in London, the seat of the Central Criminal Court, made famous by the Rumpole of the Bailey BBC TV series. That building got its name from the ancient bailey or ballium, a section of the city wall within which it is situated. Remember that this word has three I's and ends on CK.
In Play: Your bailiwick is an area with which you are familiar: "Toledo isn't my bailiwick: who do I see about fixing a parking ticket?" Your bailiwick may also be an area of expertise: "The kitchen is just not my bailiwick; I'm much more at home in the dining room."
Word History: Today's word is from Middle English bailie + wik(e) "village, district." Bailie is a shortened form of bailiff, derived from Latin bajulus "carrier, porter." Wick is the current form of Old English wic "hamlet, (city) district". It is akin to Latin vicus "town, district", found in the English borrowings from French, vicinity and vicar. Wick and its variant wich are found today only in proper nouns like Sedgewick, Hardwick, Greenwich, and Sandwich—as well as today's Good Word.

|Fall 2006
Groups and Their Actions
09/11/2006 - 12/16/2006
Wednesday 06:00 PM - 08:30 PM
Science Tower 139
The concept of a group and its actions is fundamental in mathematics, and examples are found throughout the subject. Consider these examples: rearrange the vertices of a cube so that the distances between them are unchanged. Move the points of a plane so that every circle is carried to a circle. Twist the faces of a Rubik's cube. Shuffle a deck of cards. Every one of these is an example of an action of a group.
We will begin by studying specific examples of groups such as those above, and others, and these examples will be used to motivate the abstract development of the subject. The abstract development, which focuses on the ideas that are common to all the examples, can in turn be used to inform us about geometry, and other applications. For example, these ideas lead to a proof that there are only five regular solids, and only seventeen ways to tile the plane with congruent figures. In an application far from geometry, we can see why in Sam Loyd's famous 15 puzzle (the sliding block puzzle of our youth) exactly half of the possible arrangements of the blocks can be attained.
Readings will be taken from various sources. The textbook, Groups: A Path to Geometry, by R. P. Burn will be especially useful, because of its wealth of instructive problems.
Students will be given regular problem sets to complete, and grades will be based on their work on these assignments.
Students will be expected to have a good command of high school algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus, and be ready to follow extended logical reasoning.

BGE Presents More Than $400,000 in Green Grants to Nearly 50 Nonprofit Organizations in
Support of Environmental Stewardship Initiatives
New grant program recognizes long-standing company support of the protection, preservation and enhancement of the
environment and also provides grants of up to $10,000 to local nonprofit organizations that are committed to
environmental stewardship
Total 2013 BGE charitable giving tops more than $2.2 million to 150 organizations across central Maryland
BALTIMORE (Sept. 4, 2013) – Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) today announced that it is providing more than $400,000 in grants to nearly 50 local nonprofit organizations committed to environmental stewardship. So far this year, BGE has contributed more than $2.2 million to 150 charitable organizations throughout central Maryland, helping to enrich the communities it serves. This year, as part of BGE's steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship, the company launched the BGE Green Grants program, designed specifically for local 501c3 nonprofit organizations committed to improving and making a positive impact on the environment throughout central Maryland. The BGE Green Grants range from $500 to $10,000 each and were awarded in the following environmental focus areas: conservation, education, energy efficiency, pollution prevention and community activism.
Today, BGE held a press conference at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Museum in Baltimore, where it officially presented the grants to representatives from each of the organizations who received a 2013 BGE Green Grant. Some examples of the initiatives that received funding through the program include environmental education, recycling days, neighborhood beautification and tree planting, a fresh fruit farm and a green play place, all of which have a positive impact on the environment in communities in which BGE serves.
"BGE has a long-standing commitment to enhancing the communities we serve, whether it is through philanthropic giving or employee volunteer opportunities, and the newly launched Green Grants program represents another way to extend that commitment to our customers," said Calvin G. Butler Jr., senior vice president of regulatory and external affairs for BGE. "Importantly, this grant program has the opportunity to make a very visible and positive impact on communities throughout central Maryland. Whether through conservation of green space and habitat preservation and protection, or through community activism such as cleanups and the creation of urban forests or community gardens, these grants will provide the funds to help make these projects both viable and successful."
Since its founding nearly 200 years ago, BGE has played an integral role in working with Maryland communities to address economic development, public safety, civic issues and other initiatives that help enhance our neighborhoods. Through the use of shareholder dollars, BGE supports programs that deliver measurable and sustainable impact in areas of energy efficiency and assistance, the environment, education, economic and community development, and emergency response and safety.
BGE's corporate citizenship aligns with that of its parent company, Exelon Corporation. As part of Exelon's merger in March 2012, Exelon and its subsidiaries have committed to maintain charitable giving of an average of $7 million per year in Maryland, including BGE's service area, for the next 10 years. BGE's commitment to the environment through the BGE Green Grants program fulfills part of that commitment.

New York Times bestselling author Cathy Maxwell has lived a full and adventurous life. Her resume includes years as a naval officer working with Security Group, to time spent managing a watch factory, with a stint as a news broadcaster and work designing costumes for theater productions thrown in for good measure. Today, Cathy spends hours in front of her computer pondering the question, "Why do people fall in love?" It remains for her the great mystery of life and the secret to happiness. She lives in the Richmond, Virginia, area surrounded by kids, dogs, cats, and horses.
Other interests include my beloved horses. I have my pet horse. The "pet" part wasn't my idea. It was his. He had a forceful way of letting me know he was done, and while lying on my back, stars buzzing around my head, I agreed with him. But a part of me wants to get back into the saddle.
I'm also a big soccer fan. Love it, love it, love it! I will watch football on TV, but I'll buy the tickets and drive to the game for soccer. My son will be trying out for his college soccer team. He's an old geezer (he's 22—went into the navy out of high school). We'll see if he has what it takes to run around a soccer field in a few weeks after tryouts. What is the saying? Age and treachery will always defeat youth and beauty???
Will I buy a new horse friend? Will I give it up? I don't know—yet.
So, I'm happy to say that Constance Cameron's story is out February '08 and is titled In a Highlander's Bed. I've had so many e-mails and letters asking when her book would be ready. She is the last of the Cameron Sisters, a trilogy that turned into a series of four books. I'm sort of sorry to see her go. (By the way, the cover for Constance's book is incredibly beautiful. Hooray for the Avon Art Department!)
The good news is that I will be introducing new characters in Constance's book that readers will meet again in November '08 when Avon brings out Seduction at Christmas. I'll be spinning off a whole series at that time…so fasten your seat belts—it's going to be a fun ride!

I've just received advance copies of the cover for A Seduction at Christmas and they are gorgeous! Fabulous! The best yet!
Tom Egner and his creative staff have blown me away.
Hopefully, after all the final touches are done, we'll have this cover up so you, too, can enjoy it. I really am doing cartwheels! Thanks, Tom!

On April 8 a group of leading Swiss companies met up to discuss the results from the Swiss edition of the KWD Webranking, which is managed by Lundquist.
Joakim Lundquist, CEO of Lundquist, gave an overview of the research, Europe's most detailed assessment of the quality of corporate websites. The KWD Webraning survey has reached its 17th edition in Europe and this year it celebrated its 10th edition in Switzerland. All in all, 852 companies were evaluated globally and 51 in Switzerland.
Compared to their European counterparts, the main finding was that Swiss companies are lagging behind in corporate responsibility. In fact 25% of Swiss companies do not present a CSR or sustainability report compared to only 2% at Europe's top companies. Other weak areas were debt information and employer branding.

The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity, Reason, and Romanticism
William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, Jan 1, 1992 - Fiction - 219 pages
The first book written by C. S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrim's Regress is, in a sense, the record of Lewis's own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction -- a search that eventually led him to Christianity.
Here is the story of the pilgrim John and his odyssey to an enchanting island which has created in him an intense longing 7mdash; a mysterious, sweet desire. John's pursuit of this desire takes him through adventures with such people as Mr. Enlightenment, Media Halfways, Mr. Mammon, Mother Kirk, Mr. Sensible, and Mr. Humanist and through such cities as Thrill and Eschropolis as well as the Valley of Humiliation.
Though the dragons and giants here are different from those in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, Lewis's allegory performs the same function of enabling the author to say simply and through fantasy what would otherwise have demanded a full-length philosophy of religion.

Bayonetta Trailer Presses All the Right Buttonsby Alice O'Connor, Oct 01, 2009 7:22am PDT
New Bayonetta gameplay footage shows director and Devil May Cry creator Hideki Kamiya wielding the controller to beat his way through an angelic brass band in MadWorld developer Platinum Games' absurd DMC-style action game.
The normal difficulty footage serves as a contrast to the entirely optional 'very easy automatic' mode, where all movement and attacks are controlled by a single button.
Bayonetta will arrive for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in January 2010, published by Sega.


text: Rust Spores Found in Louisiana Spore Trap Pathologists say with the limited number of spores captured, it isn't time to panic, but be mindful of your soybean fields. Compiled by staff Published on: Jun 23, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print A University of Arkansas plant pathologist, John Rupe, today reported the presence of spores like those associated with Asian soybean rust in St. Joseph, La., where they were captured by a Syntinel spore trap. Monitored by Louisiana State extension specialists, the spore trap in Tensas County, located near the Louisiana border between Natchez, Miss. and Vicksburg, Miss., tested positive for the presence of three spores associated with soybean rust. "With the limited number of spores captured, it isn't time to panic, just a warning to be extra mindful of what is going on in your soybean field," says Marty Wiglesworth, technical manager for Syngenta Crop Protection. Utilizing technology developed for rust detection in Brazil and Paraguay, Syntinel spore traps are custom-designed traps monitored by trained pathologists to detect rust spores in the area. Spore traps are able to detect spores in the air and collect samples for lab analysis. The Syntinel trap network, exclusive to Syngenta, consists of nearly 100 traps across the country, with an early-season emphasis in the southern soybean-growing areas of the United States. By capturing windborne spores, the Syntinel traps can provide an early alert system of the potential of rust development in a specific area. "It is important to keep in mind that soybean rust infections have not yet been found on soybean plants in Louisiana," says Wiglesworth. "However, the discovery of these spores is indicative of a possible spore shower and could be an early-warning of the disease if weather conditions are conducive for disease development and the soybean plants are at a susceptible growth stage." Research indicates that soybean plants are most susceptible to soybean rust during the reproductive stages from R1 to R6. "Protection during pod set and fill is essential to protect yield," says Wiglesworth. "A combination of a strobilurin and triazole, such as Quit fungicide, helps protect the plant during these critical stages." Extension agents in the surrounding areas have been notified of the discovery. "If you are a soybean grower in the area and unsure of what to do next, it would be best for you to discuss your options with your extension agent," says Wiglesworth. Growers can also monitor weather conditions and wind patterns in their area, and further spore trap developments on www.soybeanrust.com through the Syntinel RustTracker.

whine whine whine about Georgia, but OOOPS...yeah, they have the toughest schedule in the nation
AP Poll: Stanford, Oklahoma and Georgia fall in rankings after upset-heavy Week 7
Week 7 in college football finally saw the bevy of ranked teams go down as we're used to seeing in the middle of the season, and the AP Poll reflected the chaos.
Oklahoma, Georgia and Stanford's losses caused them to plummet to 18, 15 and 13, respectively, and Missouri's win over the Bulldogs moved the Tigers up 11 spots to No. 14, although it might be short-lived with starting quarterback James Franklin out six weeks with a separated shoulder. UCLA (9) and Miami (10) entered the top ten this week, and LSU and Texas A&M both moved up after conference victories.
The complete AP Poll (with first-place votes in parentheses) is below:
1. Alabama (55)
2. Oregon (5)
3. Clemson
4. Ohio State
5. Florida State
7. Texas A&M
8. Louisville
10. Miami
11. South Carolina
12. Baylor
13. Stanford
14. Missouri
15. Georgia
16. Texas Tech
17. Fresno State
18. Oklahoma
19. Virginia Tech
20. Washington
21. Oklahoma State
22. Florida
23. Northern Illinois
24. Auburn
25. Wisconsin
Here are a few thoughts from this week's results:
• Baylor was finally tested a bit against Kansas State, but with all the carnage ahead of the Bears in the polls, simply winning was all that mattered. Baylor moved up three spots to No. 12.
• Texas Tech is all the way up to No. 16 and is now 6-0 this year under Kliff Kingsbury with a 3-0 record in the Big 12. The Red Raiders have West Virginia next, and still have Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Baylor and Texas, so we'll know soon just how for real they are.
• Virginia Tech's defense continues to shine, and the Hokies are now at No. 19, up five spots from last week. The offense is borderline unwatchable at times, but that defense is one of the five best in the nation, and with a relatively easy ACC slate, the Hokies could challenge in the Coastal. A Nov. 9 date with No. 10 Miami is going to be big.
whine whine whine about Georgia, but OOOPS...yeah, they have the toughest schedule in the nation
Oregon and Clemson should move ahead of Alabama based on strength of schedule. As far as SEC play Alabama has been given an almost free ride again this season. They play Kentucky and Tennessee while other SEC West teams play the likes of Georgia and Florida. Then the great Alabama has the nerve to schedule the likes of Georgia Southern that has won one game going back to last season. Saban should be ashamed of himself.
surprise! Georgia is in the top 15
Wow, only 5 people thought Oregon should be number one? What a joke. This system is terrible and we need a real playoff system.
Takes until 4 pm for any links to the poll to show up on SI.com. I wonder why. Hmmmm. Let's see.....
Oh, my! Who's that at #10?
Amazed they finally linked to it at all. SI, dedicated to beating Miami into the ground since 1995.
This poll is still a joke. Alabama gets 55 first place votes, and Oregon only gets 5? Guess we'll have to wait for the BCS Championship for Oregon to whup up on Alabama 55-5. Wouldn't that be poetic, though????
So you've got Florida State twicely ranked, what's gonna happen when they meet Florida and get spanked?
No really, my boys will step it up and win out, then beat Alabammy in the national title game (SEC Championship), then win that last game over Oregon. Am I dreaming? Ask Will.
@K-Jun And you do know the SEC schedule is cyclical right? Alabama gets Florida again next year? Just like 2011? Are you going to cry for Bama then?
@K-Jun So, I'm guessing Oregon's schedule (Nicholls, Tennessee, Virginia, UW, Cal, Colorado), and Clemson's (Georgia, South Carolina State, Wake Forest, Syracuse, and BC), top Alabama's (Virginia Tech, Texas A&M, Colorado State, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Georgia Southern)..with 3 ranked teams? Little background for you - the Georgia Southern game was for Bill Curry. Last year they play. Colorado State for Jim McElwain, last year they play. Either way you skipped all the facts.
@K-Jun Sorry Bud but I'd put Texas A&M Virginia Tech and Ole Miss up against Washington and.... and wait.. hold on...I'm drawing a blank. Oregon has played ONE good team you freaking moron! Clemson played Georgia .... ONE RANKED TEAM.. Do you idiots even look at the schedule before spewing your ignorant drivel?
@K-Jun You sound like my mom when she tries to be cool and talk football with me. She has no idea what she is talking about. Oregon's win this week is their first win this season..AGAINST A TEAM WITH A WINNING RECORD. Think about that for a second ok. Their only other opponent that has gotten past .500 is Nicholls St. Alabama has beaten what is now looking like a really decent #24 Virginia Tech team (6-1), a good #6 A&M (5-1), and a really decent top 20 at the time Ole Miss team (3-3).
No doubt that Oregon and Clemson both look excellent thus far, but nobody who knows what and why is going to take you seriously when you say things like strength of schedule and it makes no sense. Right, Saban and Bama should be ashamed for scheduling these tough teams at the beginning of the season when your team is most vulnerable every year (2008 Clemson, 2009 Virginia Tech, 2010 Penn St, 2011 Penn St, 2012 Michigan, 2013 Virginia Tech, 2014 West Virginia, 2015 Wisconsin).
@K-Jun You make some very good points. Alabama signing a then Top 15 team in Virginia Tech to open the season on the road looks downright cowardly against Oregon's at home opener against Nicholls. And the way Alabama beat a #6 A&M on the road is nothing compared to the way Ohio State hung 76 on the board while shutting out the perennial powerhouse that is FAMU. And it amazes me that Baylor wasn't number one in the nation after playing four home games in a row against the likes of Wofford, Buffalo, and Louisiana-Monroe. And for sheer bravery and challenge, what could beat USC's thrilling season opener against 0-6 Hawaii? Even Ole Miss should be ashamed for picking on cupcake Texas on it's own field. How was that fair?
It's a good thing ONLY Alabama has a handful of cupcake games on their schedule. Otherwise you'd look like a fool for making statements like you do.
you DO realize that the SEC plays cross-divisional games, like most
conferences, on a rotation? Tennessee is a permanent cross-division
rivalry, but don't forget they won the first BCS title. That they are
down this year is dumb luck. It is the SEC and they could be back on top
in a couple of years. And when they are, you won't hear Alabama whining
about playing them every season. Heck, being the SEC, FOUR different
teams won those last seven titles. You never know who will be good or
not. Look a the East, last year's cupcake Missouri is 6-0 and leading
the division! The SEC has EIGHT teams in the top 25. SEC teams
constantly play ranked teams because they play one another. And may have
gone on to win it if their QB didn't separate a shoulder last game.
Alabama has played a top ten A&M and has a top ten LSU coming up.
Ole Miss was ranked when Bama played them and it is looking like Auburn
will be, too. And Tech is now a top 20 team with their only loss coming
at the hands of Bama. If Bama goes all the way, the SEC East team will
be ranked, as will the title game. That would be SEVEN teams ranked at
the time of playing or subsequently out of 14 games. Half their
schedule. It is NOT a cupcake schedule. Yes, there are a couple of
easier teams in the mix, as there are on EVERYONE's schedule. The Bama
hate just has your selective perception turned way up and it is sad.
@K-Jun Current Strength of Schedule rankings by Jeff Sagarin through Saturday's games:
*When mentioning Bama's schedule I note that you leave off TAMU, LSU and VATech (all ranked) and also Auburn who is currently ranked 26th. Also, GA Southern was done as a favor to a former coach of Alabama. The money will help build that schools program (but yes it is a very easy win). As for Oregon I am not familiar with Nichols. Are they a college team?
Alabama 36
Oregon 67
Clemson 57
@K-Jun I agree. Alabama is overly glamorized. The reason they have had such an awesome winning streak is that they have one of the biggest push over schedules in college football period. They rarely, if ever, play a truly ranked team, generally their schedule puts them with maybe 2 games they have to show up for. How they can be number one all the time is a head scratch-er. Take Notre Dame for example (yes they are playing horribly this season compared to last year) they almost always play ranked teams, yet they get laughed at in the polls due to a "soft" schedule. Just getting to the number 1 spot last season was a punching match and even then Alabama was getting more credit. The ranking system is a sad and pathetic joke!
@K-Jun what a joke....Clemson & Florida State would've been blown out of the stadium @ TEXAS A&M. Both would also have extreme difficulty with LSU as well. Clemson beat LSU barely by 1point last year in a bowl game that LSU gave no effort because they had a dissapointing year and 11 underclassmen that were jumping to the NFL and didn't give a damn about that insignificant bowl game. The top of the SEC is superior to the top ACC teams every single year...not even a debate...better talent....better coaching. LSU & Alabama are head and shoulders better than Clemson (who's overrated every single year).....ya struggling with a super power like Boston College haaaaaa.... FSU is going to be another college power very very soon behind Winston....but still a year away.
Ya Clemson has such a mountain of a schedule
SC State 5-2, NC State 3-3, Wake Forest 3-3, Syracuse 3-3, BC 3-3, Maryland 5-2, Virginia 2-4, GT 3-3, The Citadel 2-5
15 GEORGIA, 5 FSU, 11 S.Carolina
where as Alabama has to play 6 LSU, 7 Texas A&M, 19 VA Tech, 24 Auburn...and either 11 S.Carolina, 14 Mizzou, or 15 UGA in the SEC championship....plus Tennessee & Ole Miss would smash those mediocre ACC teams on Clemson's schedule. You have absolutely no arguement on strength of schedule.....I would love to see Alabama play Clemson in the Natty....it would be quite similar to 42-14 last year against the Irish.
lol nice try. that Citadel game is looming large for an ACC team that barely beat BC.
@sportsGuy12 Another great example of what a joke this system is.
@JeffBockert God forbid your opinion isn't shared by most people.
@JeffBockert Because 55 experts who live, breathe, and make a living at the game of football are wrong and online forum poster JeffBockert is right? The system is not perfect by any stretch, but when people trusted with voting are doing so 11-1 for Alabama, maybe...just maybe...they all see something there a little more in-depth than you do?
@MarkCleary The folks at SI take their time posting the AP ranking because of a vendetta against Miami? Shame on me for thinking that you paranoid types could not come up with another reason to claim media bias.
@mobetta This is the first game Oregon won vs a team that has a winning record. Got that??? 1st win. They beat Washington.... that is it. Got anyone else on the schedule that looks impressive? FCS team Nicholls? 2-4 Virginia? 3-3 Tennessee that hasn't won a game vs automatic qualifier conference team this year? The team that couldn't beat a Georgia team that was down their 1/2 backs and their 1/2/3 receivers? 1-5 Cal???? 2-3 Colorado??? Oregon has beaten ONE good team.
@mobetta If they did play....I would guarantee you Alabama would drop 40+ on that shitty Duck defense. Controlling Mariota & D Thomas would be very difficult for the Tide, I do admit. It would be an all time great...48-37 ROLL TIDE ROLL.
@mobetta we'll just wait for oregon to choke in one of their final couple of games and not play in the natl championship. given the airs put on by oregon fans year in and year out with ZERO championships, that's always poetic
@Bart1 Are you dreaming? Yes
@Bart1 florida is a 2 time loser with 4 underwhelming wins under their belt. utah in the pac12 has two losses also. one to #9 UCLA by 7 and one to unrated oregon state by 3. they also just beat #5 stanford knocking them down to 13. both are 4-2 teams but utah has played as tough a schedule and theyre not even rated. florida/utah would be a good matchup.
@Bart1 Oregon would beat Florida by 21.
Exactly. Oregon's "strength of schedule?" Really? Nicholls is 4-2, which at least is a winning record, but their defense is ranked 140th--literally 140th--in the nation. So big win? Virginia is now 2-4, Tennessee is 3-3, California is 1-5, and Colorado is 2-3. The only team on Oregon's schedule so far that has been ranked at ANY point this season is Washington, now #20 AP. Alabama has beaten #7 Texas A&M (5-1) and Virginia Tech (#19) as well as Ole Miss, who is not ranked any longer now due to a string of tough games, but were #25 when we played (I only mention because again, at least they did crack the rankings, something no one on Oregon's schedule has done at all other than Washington).
So apparently, in K-Jun's world, beating the #20 team and a bunch of teams with mostly losing records and triple digit rankings is a tougher schedule than beating #7 and #19 and at least one other highly competent team.
Maybe by end of the season we can compare notes, but at this point, Oregon's schedule has been a bigger joke than Alabama's, but you'll never hear the haters admit it because their hatred blinds them to rationality.
@Wesley7 @K-Jun Fair points, Wesley, but the "dumb luck" component could be mitigated by playing 9 conference games like others are doing or will do.
Also, with so many teams ranked in the preseason, there aren't enough losses available to drop the teams out of the rankings when they start so high. It's almost a mathematical certainty that with a weak OOC and high preseason rankings that a team will stay in the Top 20 for the season as long as they get one "upset" along the way. And on top of that, you have pollsters who are ranking 1-loss SEC teams ahead of undefeated non-SEC teams.
Even if the conference is harder to get through, the pollsters more than make up for it with benefits that other conferences don't get.
@DavidandTracyAgee @K-Jun horatio nichols is a person. oregon will beat him handily.
@K-Jun *correction, upcoming Auburn is ranked 24th.
@Ryan13 @K-Jun You start with "Alabama is overly glamorized", then use Notre Dame as a counter?? My guess is they kicked you off of the debate team? What's wrong with you? Notre Dame was the butt end of a nation wide joke last season, but not before every Notre Dame homer (Lou Holtz, Regis Feldman) alive pronounced over and over again that they were back and untouchable. Talk about overhyped, I mean ashamed ND fans were crawling out of the woodworks, even though they squeaked by Pitt. Alabama is still ranked where they are because 1. When was the last time they squeaked by the likes of Pitt several times in one season, and 2. Alabama has beaten what is now looking like a really decent #24 Virginia Tech team (6-1), a good #6 A&M (5-1), and a really decent top 20 at the time Ole Miss team (3-3), have LSU looming.
Define "truly" ranked team?
Last season, Alabama was 5-1 against post-season Top 30 teams. Three of which were top 10, I believe. Notre Dame played fewer teams ranked in the top 30 at the end of the season than Alabama had. Yes, there are a few cupcakes games in there, amidst as many, if not more ranked teams than most other schedules in the country, especially if they go all the way and throw in the SEC and BCS title games. They often end the season having played 5-7 ranked teams.
@JeffBockert @sportsGuy12 except...OSU is in the top 10 and they will not play a top ten opponent this year while Georgia gets: Clemson, LSU, Florida, Mizzou, and South Carolina. Nice try
@JeffBockert And as soon as a four or eight team playoff is implemented, you and the chronic complainers will find reason to whine about it. Sixteen teams? Complaints. Get every team involved? You guys will whine about the inequity of it all. It's only football. Maybe time to take it a bit less seriously.
@donald5 @JeffBockert it's not that your opinions are or aren't shared by most people. most college /fans/ dislike the SEC and dog them any chance they get. so you're not part of some fringe fan base; it's the fact that your opinion is ill-informed. there's a big difference.
@JoeCabot @MarkCleary So what is the actual reason? And, in case you hadn't heard, it isn't paranoia when everyone is actually out to get you. SI, I reiterate, has been out to get us since 1995. Yahoo Sports jumped in two years ago. People like you have piled on since.
@AnthonyJosephGomes @Bart1 Pretty cool observations. Good one I checked SOS and they are almost the same also; Utah 9 - Florida 16. Florida's losses were to Miami and LSU. This would be a very interesting game to watch.
@JeffBockert And now you are simply guessing and attempting to pass it off as fact. Please keep posting. Some of this stuff has better entertainment value than the articles.
Because Wins and Losses aren't all that count. Or are saying that you honestly would have, after their first four games, placed Baylor--who played all four at home against teams like Wofford, Buffalo, and Louisiana Monroe ahead of a 1-loss Georgia who played THREE top-ten teams in their first four outings and their only loss was by three on the road to the now #3 team in the nation? I'm not saying there isn't some SEC inflation from time to time, but are you honestly saying all wins and all losses are totally equal and winning over the FAMUs and Nicholls and East Carolinas of the world should put you ahead of a team who did take a loss, but did it against a top-tier opponent on the road and made a contest of it? Would you say that if you were the #4 team in the nation and lost to the #5 team in the nation by 3 you should be dropped the same amount as if you were the #4 team in the nation and lost to the #89 ranked team in the nation by 20? That those two losses are equal? Or that winning over the #89 team in the nation at home by 20 is just as good--100% equivalent to--winning over the #5 team on the road by 3?
The quality of the teams played and conditions of the games DO--and SHOULD--affect rankings more than just purely the numerical W's and L's. Yes, there are some cupcakes on everyone's schedule (and yes the SEC is talking about going to a 9 game set), but the cupcake wins don't count as much in favor as the substantial wins do, while cupcake losses count much more than losses to ranked teams.
@donald5 @HerschelAnderton @JeffBockert yeah. i guess you "should have"
though these forums aren't nearly as entertaining when people think before they post comments.
@HerschelAnderton @donald5 @JeffBockert I'm sorry, I should have said, "most people that mattered"
@HerschelAnderton @JoeCabot @MarkCleary And BTW, I do so seek the approval of people who write things like "I'm agree."
@JoeCabot @MarkCleary Help cure me. Explain how what I have said is delusional.
@HerschelAnderton @JoeCabot @MarkCleary Please, Professor Einstein, read the two articles to which I linked, and then explain to me how there is no anti-Miami bias at SI.
@JoeCabot @MarkCleary i'm agree with joecabot; please continue posting. this is simply fascinating. seriously. i want to hear some more.
@MarkCleary Yes, paranoia. At least back here in reality. I am sure that you believe everything you type. Doesn't make it true except to you and the rest of the delusional bunch. For the rest of us it is simply amusing.
@JoeCabot Paranoia? Really?

I think it's interesting that any mom that posted that she left her baby to cry for 20 minutes in his crib while she sat in the next room would be excoriated on this forum.
But if she leaves the house all these people are saying "oh, the worst that could happen is that the baby woke up and cried for 20 minutes."
Let's make up our minds, people!
I'm assuming that the OP would have expected her son to tend to the baby if the baby began to cry.
Just sayin'.
