Jimbo Fisher, Florida, frustration, the BCS computer rankings
Eye of the former Soviet Union by a 10-1 record into the University of Florida (ABC) 3:30 pm on Saturday on the human voters in the Associated Press (10), the USA Today Coaches vote (fifth) and the Harris poll Figure test (sixth) to Seminole Jimbo Fisher's team and coaches think it should be respected.
However, when it comes to the ranking of the six computers used by the BCS (combined) and with the coaches poll and the Harris poll, the Seminoles gently that. Former Soviet Union, between 16 and 27, the average ranking of 18th in the ranking of those voting, resulting in a BCS # 10.
In contrast, Gators in the average ranking of six computer investigation is only in the third and fourth among the top three 7 or higher. This makes the UF in the BCS sixth.
The opinion polls Seminole alligator almost on par. Florida Sixth AP poll, in coaches poll fifth and sixth in the Harris poll.
The difference is simple: strength of schedule, as a factor in all six computer polls.
Florida is the only AP Top 10 teams have played two teams from the Football Championship Subdivision and conference opponent only one, Clemson University, the top 25 of the BCS standings this week. Florida this year, a 3-1 record and the Seminoles have played four ranked teams will be UF's third top 10 opponent.
Player in the ACC and will not help, because the BCS Computer Conference in Florida by strength rankings are lagging behind the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, PAC-12 ... and the Big East.
Lost impressive victory in North Carolina ... ACC ZERO meeting "the BCS Computer pollster Kenneth Massey sent by e-mail to the Times-Union when a reporter asked the Seminole survey and computer voting huge difference.
Anderson and Hester, Jeff Anderson, Chris Hurst combined ranking, agreed, and said that the region of the former Soviet Union may still be outside the top five in the BCS beat North Carolina State Oct. 6.
"This is the advent of fairly simple," Anderson said. The former Soviet Union in our top 50, playing a team, a team we ranked outside the top 50, there is a loss of a timetable for the below-average can understand that this is not their wrong in one instance, West Virginia broke their contract to leave the former Soviet Union scraping, until it finds Savannah State] but the focus is the strength of schedule. teams received awards play a tough time in the computer ranking] table. "
Massey (the program is not yet among the top 25 this season, ranking the former Soviet Union) and Anderson and Hester, other computers used in the BCS rankings Sagarin's ratings, Corley matrix, Billingsley's rankings and Wolf rating.
Anderson and his colleagues in the other BCS computer Richard Billingsley agree with the timetable of the former Soviet Union do not have any benefits.
Billingsley said: "This is really not Florida's fault, because they are very high in the preseason, people vote, they have a very good team". "But they have not played a timetable, so that they can prove that our ranking is not the eye diagram test once the program commenced, it is the work of the former Soviet Union, at least on my system.
Fisher and his players frustrating, one-third of the equation, and decided to play in the BCS National Championship Game 1 and No. 2 teams Composite Index survey from six computer. In other words, each Football Bowl Subdivision team goal is to a large extent is a programmer's input and the computer spit out.
Few doubt played a weaker schedule Seminole, Florida, Alabama, Notre Dame, or any other BCS contenders. But, too much weight strength timetable, resulting in the following quirks?
- Clemson, Florida, it defeated 49-37, at the back of the six computer rankings in 5.
- The Seminoles ranked behind ninety-two loss team, coupled with the 7-3 and 7-4 Oklahoma State Southern California ranking in this week's Sagarin.
- Macy's ranking, the Seminoles 27 in the nation, trailing not only the University of Clemson, Oklahoma State and USC, but Arizona, Washington State, Mississippi State University, Northwestern University, and Van der Bildt.
Northwest it? Vanderbilt?
Inexplicable hit the the Fisher's tolerance redline last week's BCS formula, he said, "It stinks."
"They've changed how we select the top teams in the country," Fisher said in a press conference on November 12. "You have to change how it does not work the way the matter for me there is no sense."
Fisher has not yet been fully purchased scheduler parameters strength.
"This is too much, instead you play how you play," he said. And team meetings. How are you going to do? I'm not saying that just to us, I say to other people. "
Billingsley said his sympathy with Fisher.
"I understand the the Jimbo's frustration," he said. "He is right, a team can only play the schedule in front of them is not their fault, it fell way but it is not our job to give the eye diagram test our work is the opposite We must let the team name and the emotional history is a part of the equation. "
A problem, fans like this: Who are these guys the information into the computer's?
Well, one thing, most of them are very smart.
Jeff Sagarin's today, is perhaps the most famous, and was ranked the United States since 1985. He has a degree of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Wesley Corley has two degrees from Princeton University and from one of the Virginia. Kenneth Massey has Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Virginia and Peter Wolf, a doctor specializing in infectious diseases. Anderson and Hester have degrees from Washington.
The BCS uses only computer experts background does not fully correspond mold Billingsley, professional, strange, stress management.
Fisher coaches might be inclined to ask him. Coach of the former Soviet Union apparently has resigned its own facts, the Seminoles will not be in the BCS conversation, even if it is a victory over Florida and the Reserve for the USC-Notre Dame combined.
Fisher refused to discuss this issue at a news conference Monday, and made it clear that he would not be in the rest of the week.
"I do not even intend to answer this question," Fisher said.
His players, his lead.
"Nobody knows it, so we do not worry about things we can not control, said:" Kicker Dustin Hopkins University. "We have our goals, and then in front of us: beat Florida to win the ACC, go to the Orange Bowl to win that."
"You hear the players on the team will sometimes talk about it ... wide receiver Rodney Smith said:" We think the lack of respect for us. "But we can not let her husband know that we have to go out to play football, because we can not control their own computers to Florida."
The good news for fans who think, BCS only about before the start of the four-team playoffs, in the year of 2014.
Solve the problem, he was last week, Fisher is not optimistic.
"I think our destruction [sports]," Fisher said. "I tell you what, in the playoffs, we have [2014]?, It will not solve this problem. Problem to be solved is the playoffs? You still get the same factors has been to enter the game, we want to ruin it. "
However, when it comes to the ranking of the six computers used by the BCS (combined) and with the coaches poll and the Harris poll, the Seminoles gently that. Former Soviet Union, between 16 and 27, the average ranking of 18th in the ranking of those voting, resulting in a BCS # 10.

The world's oldest working computer is fired
With smaller, thinner, lighter equipment, but now it seems crazy to think that a computer, a mean size of the room is the main mechanism for the government to use. However, this is a computer 61 years ago.
Now, visitors can see a hardware designer doing when they created what is currently the world's oldest working digital computer - Wolverhampton Harwell of, or WITCH calculation teaching instrument . After more than a century and a half old equipment has been restored and restart at his home in Buckinghamshire, the British National Museum.
"1951 the Harwell decatron may have one of more than a dozen computers in the world, and since then, it has led a charmed life unscathed, and the recycling or destruction of their contemporaries." trustee of the Museum Kevin Murrell said in a statement.
Work began three years ago to restore WITCH, this is the first use of atomic research in 1951. Decatron inflatable tubes, each held a single digital telephone switching relays and hundreds of computers running on memory. The tape is used for both the input data and storing the machine's output.

This is in order to solve at substantially the same speed as a human mathematicians use mechanical calculator, and may be several consecutive 2011 No error algorithm, according to the museum.
"To see it in action is a computer - that is the machine impossible to watch the inner workings of," Murrell said.
This machine is not the oldest electronic computing devices, but is considered to be the first modern computer is still able to work. WITCH is on display at the museum next to the giant Mark II, which is the world's first electronic computer.

Computer problem delays travelers in the United States
United Airlines computer power outage delayed thousands of travelers Thursday when it tries to win back customers after glitch earlier this year embarrassed airlines.
Two-hour power outage of 6,365,679 American flights scheduled to be held on Thursday, the airline said. This includes 257 aircraft delay outage, the rest of the delay caused by the subsequent flight of the aircraft directly, the airline said.
From Los Angeles to London, Boston, San Francisco, frustrated flyers tweeted speak about the problem snarky. This year is the third largest computer mishap.
"Radio Shack computer or abacus to help the United Nations system fixed it?" Tweeted a motorsports writer Lewis Frank plane from Newark, New Jersey, Miami, including the last race of the NASCAR season .
In a subsequent telephone with The Associated Press, Frank said: "Why is there a system failure is a beautiful day what backup and backup to the backup?"
Technical problem occurred about 8:30 EST, 10:30 and is scheduled to spread throughout the airline's network, but delays in the morning, the rest of the day, and even fixed the root cause of the United States. This is because once the aircraft leave late, it can be difficult to make up for lost time.
The burr participate in the company's operations center in Chicago, the communication scheduling between the airport and aircraft around the world, the U.S. spokesman Rahsaan Johnson said. Dispatchers to communicate information, such as pilots, who need it to operate the flight weight and fuel load. Johnson said the airline has identified specific problems, and said that it will not happen again.
United Continental Holdings, the company's shares fell 47 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $ 19.51 a day, when the other airline stocks rose.
Since March, the United States has been struggling with technical problems, when the switch to the computer system of passenger information, previously used continental. The United States and China in 2010 through the merger. Since March it easier for workers to use the system, known as the "Shares", requires a lot of rework.
The United States in August, 580 flights delayed, its Web site was shut down for two hours because of a computer hardware.
Johnson said Thursday the problem is not related to the integration of the two airlines computer systems.
10, 1999 (Thursday), he said, the flight was canceled because of this problem. He said that 80% of the airline's flight time. In comparison, the government's statistics show that the United States and mainland time in November 2011, about 83% of the flights.
He said that this issue affects aircraft from the United States. Aircraft from the mainland, and regional United Express flights were not affected.
CEO Jeff Smisek October 25, acknowledged that some customers avoid the United States in the summer of this year, because of the computer problems. He said that the airlines have to fix these problems by improving the software and systems, more spare aircraft in other mobile.
"We hope," he said, then earned back a detour, we hope to attract new customers, these customers.
Thursday's problem, which the United States does not need, airlines and tourism Atmospheric Research Group analyst Henry H. Harteveldt said. "This event shows an unacceptable plan in the United States," he said.
"The merger is an out-and-out disaster, almost every count, the United States must make some changes to begin its administrative leadership of CEO, including its chief information officer, if you want to restore the confidence of the passengers, he said.
Last Thursday's confidence appears shaken.
, Michael Silverstein, who are in financial services, should be in 06 point 01 am flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco. Computer disruptions has caused him to miss a meeting. Another worry missing, he walked off the plane and buy a $ 195 in the last second Southwest Airlines flights, Oakland, California, United States
"I am frustrated because I missed a meeting, and I think I have enough time," he said.

United Airlines encountered another major computer failure
United Airlines, just a week before the year's busiest travel periods, suffered another major computer problems Thursday morning, hundreds of flights across the country delayed, mainly on the East Coast. The aviation industry observers called the "head launched the world's largest airline.
The spokesman said, the American Charlie Hobart latest failure involves scheduling system software, headquartered in Chicago, the American aircraft before take-off communication, provide information, and weight and balance of the aircraft, passengers and amount of luggage.
Manchester United's regional jet service, United Express flights were not affected.
The power outage occurred from about 7:30, 9:30 (Thursday) and led to 257 delays directly attributable to interrupt and spent more each day, and about 10 canceled. The airline said it 636 delay Thursday, far more than the typical number of about 300. The delayed impact of the airline's 5,500 daily flights to a relatively small number - less than 5%, Hobart said.
O'Hare International Airport, the impact seems to be minimal, the United States and airport officials said.
There is a system in the United States, its passenger reservation system switched to March rampant problem. In August, the airlines have a network interruption occurs, the piece of data centers in the United States, communications equipment failed, disabling communication with the airport and the United States website, United.com. This is due to the failure of the supplier in the U.S..
Computer reservation system, especially in the summer, the affected flights CEO Jeff Smisek, the U.S. parent company United Continental Holdings company, since March, a public apology. He admitted, hurt airline profits of the third quarter of the business of Wall Street analysts as many customers fled competitors. However, he said, the airline behind these problems and he was confident that America will fulfill the busy holiday tourist season in late October, and the analyst's earnings conference call.
In addition to weather-related delays, such as the superstorm Sandy and blizzards in the East Coast, which seems to be power outages until Thursday. A spokesman said that, even on Thursday, the United States is about 80%, to reach its target.
"This is a software problem, we found and fixed within two hours, U.S. spokesman Rahsaan Johnson said," It will not happen again. "
Hobart said he did not what the problem.
Joe Brancatelli, business travel in JoeSentMe.com writer, said the failure to point to a larger problem.
Some industry observers say, the United States an excuse.
"This is unacceptable plane, Harteveldt said:" Henry, one of the founders of the Atmospheric Research Group. "This makes the laughing stock of American Airlines."
He said the airline's computer system is complex, and on Thursday of the problem may be a matter of time, but have been defeated, the United States is not only embarrassing, they "undermine trust the airlines and the low morale of staff."
"Clearly failed, launched in the airline's strategy and execution and head of the airline," he said. United States (chief information officer) should resign or be fired. "
Hobart said the airline has improved recently.
"Since the summer, we have significantly improved our operating results, our flight nearly 85% of the time so far this month, nearly 80% of flights arrived in October, although as the hurricane Sandy's business challenges," he said. : "We understand our customers, this interruption is frustrating, we can help them to rebook without penalty and receive a full refund if their flight has been delayed at least two hours."
"It says, (airlines) must stop the roadmap for the merger of the two, you can crush," Brancatelli said. He argued that Continental Airlines merger plan.
"There are too many things wrong," he said. Blame the exhibition of guy, "he said, senior management personnel in the United States. Fish smelly head. "
