it's ready. Are you welcome to stop? You should know how stuff works tat, Nor can do the pod casts unjust clerk. There's Charles Davy Chuck bright. That makes the stuff you should know the college for politicians. Yes, I first sports cast ever think: we'd never done it. It really is a voice can a wanted to. But then I thought We'd be no excluding anyone who is not a sports fan, but we get a lot of sports fans. You say you should do this local thumb about here seems like we need some sort of them here, dream, like doo doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, Doo, doo doo activity. Did it didn t? I can t I wanted Finally, how was it I was literally like starting myself. Now we have to pay a royalty, since you name that tune body out before we get started was poor,

First, our college tour yeah gonna do not exactly college tour, but it is just that. Oh yeah, that's right. Trivia, tour, nervous, its national tour, but there's colleges in these places where yeah we're going to do I'm anywhere between five and seven cities, yeah winding up in Austin. As far as I know, our kicking it off October, thirteenth, which is a Wednesday I am a year which is just down the street correctly in right. Now some would argue we kicked off in New York. The you could definitely make that case. Suddenly arc brought the good yeah. I wonder if Ireland will bring goods the New York himself in an I'm talking to you to Birmingham and check, new. Definitely what else is close Charlotte's not too far, Ash mills, three hours, yeah Asheville got no excuse and when it comes to Asheville, Sir, this is your check with its

by the South issues go to Atlanta and everybody drives. You just know you have to drive and utterly subsidy from Florida is welcome them now, you'll be turned away the door so yeah it's going to be active or thirteen, which is a Wednesday. I'm almost positive. It's going to be at five seasons: brewery Brewing company, Yeah on the west side, so losing their up on the roof, wasn't will be throwing more hell up on Twitter and Facebook rampage yet have you should know yes and are twitter feed? Is s why escape podcasting Quichua follow us in shock? I guess it's time we should get to football rankings. I hear this when we should

go ahead and say that the article for this one hundred website is a little out of date and college football. In the b c s is ever changing, so I kind of expected that it wouldn't be Nina really up to date is changed a lot over the past six years. It's changed a lot over the past six minutes, the health effects of Vienna. Ah, yes, my Mina Orient your best here. Not only that if you thought the Quantum suicide podcast was hard to follow, an F buddy get a pen in piece of paper out. Now here is just gonna, be some detail: equations and afterward. There will be a clear, yes Chuck, I ten normally to lean more toward a p. Dissociated pressed her over USA today for accuracy and reporting right. But I looked at the and see a football rankings today. Precision and I The USA today has Georgia rank twenty one, whereas AP has direct twenty three, then leaning toward USA two days reporting today and they both attacker inherited

there is a down. Yes, it matter were like TAT, given the number one spot and then come thanks giving will not come out of it. I will sit one of the great joy in my life and we have a terrible season, but we may have a good season, it remains to be seen. I can't They are, even though, who are starting quarterbacks, be is the AIR Murray, yet AIR, Marie Murray. Emma Frere and try to kill me now. I wonder where she been, I think, spent in the same place for several years. Athens know now that she did ass. She is richer, probably look better emory if you're, not that. We apologise. We greatly exaggerated ura lifeless so Chuck before the B c s right yeah. There is line and John Travolta Movie and a complete. These words are coming out of my mouth where, but why are you so we'd better? That's that's my impression note the that movie was Michael. I think it was replaced.

A kind of down to Earth Angel, Google, drugs and boozing in women eyes, as other you saw it: okay, so sick of kind of acute movie. But there is one thing that he said that I've always thought was very clever was He told somebody in that movie that he invented lines and before then the standing around my bumping into each other didn't write what to do with money, so I can have the same impression of college football seasons and their end pre, Cs Rivers can a bumping and everybody else who was indistinct. I believe that you had a number of teams claiming the number one spot no way to resolve that, and you know we humans are very much into saying. You are clearly number one in the b c s while it had a rocky start at first has kind of fulfilled that spot right got a pretty good record, the last six third ten year giant well according to this year.

Any European yeah. Well, we might go and say the busiest claims that in twelve years, since it's been around their twelve for twelve according to their formulas- and they are nine for twelve according to like coaches poles. As far as matching up the two best teams to play for the national title right in previous did not like you said. For decades. Teams played each other and ball games and then sport traders voted on a national champions. It was made up it's beyond ridiculous if you think the b c s ridiculous, that even more, Gillis, yeah and dumb, or let's talk about how the busiest calculate right will work out. What are the beasts? Users five games before there were twenty five means. Is that correct there too nine games aside from the busiest games. But before now now there's twenty nine, excluding the BC game. Ok, but before

I understand that there are like twenty five ball games and they were all important right because there was no b c s well important to varying degrees right, but it's almost like playing musical chairs with eight kids, but with nine chairs you know near so the busiest comes in and says: hey we're going to make sure that a clear winners established and we're going to do so by establishing that we're going to see these ball games are actually the important ones right and they are what they are. The sugar ball, the Rosebud the Orange born the festival in they all have different sponsors that can change, yeah yeah in we're not pay by any I'm. So I can imagine her wealth. Three of the four these in this article are wrong. That's how much they ve changed well near to see those is the only one that still actively sponsoring first of all, right and the young there's big money involved in these things. Writers pay out that go directly to the schools involved and then also to their conferences right. Yes, we break

now was to have it works last year. The pay out for these national title game was seventeen million dollars per team. So thirty, what is it for thirty, four million bucks but the team doesn't get all of that is split. You get a participation fee and then, after the participants, participation fee is taken out. The rest of the money is split among all the teams in the conference room so that, as he sees loaded with talent, newly syn. Say, eight teams to balls. So that's a lot of money come into schools like Vanderbilt in Kentucky yeah that may not good or evil, so they love it. The guy probably already know the answer to this right, but are you one of those people who win? George is not in a game you still route for the SSC. I route for all Assisi teams. Except for Florida. Thank you and boy Tennessee.

For me to get. I have trouble rooting for Tennessee as well, but if it was like Tennessee verses, you see I would certainly route for tenancy, but I can never, if afforded no matter what happens, I can't neither check it. I'm glad to hear you say that I also have trouble rooting for tech, some people are like well to Georgia, team so of Georgia's not playing than I refer tack and, unlike dear Communist, at don't route for tech, their certain. It's like I read for their basketball team, because I like them back in the day, but not enough for football. Gotcha Emma brother works there, so I gotta keep it on the up and up. That's very nice of you. Keep it in the family search shock What should we talk about next above the trees he is, is not

a body. It's an event which consist of these football games. It is managed by the ball, the b c s subdivision conferences, and these are the big boys repetition. She get the and I was surprised to hear that there is a european article that you sent me giving it background back, one of the busiest and it said like the two thousand ten, but it doesn't. Nine poll showed seventy three percent of anti a coat favour keeping the bees yes in place of replay off via the kind of flies in the face of information that I've had like anecdotally. You know that we now have,

asked Margaret. You ran the spot, but I get the impression that so that more people at won't play off than don't will fans of assure definitely and that the beasts? Yes is something of an entity, and it's not just you know this this panel, that you know created by this democracy right it's more like an iron fist and if you know like it though you'll be crushed, is it not the case at while they said and I entered he, but I bet they have an office of it. They do tat people work there and all, but in a status iron desk for their iron fist. I should know that I did say that if the IPCC conferences were who make up this this a body we also after include Notre Dame in their because actually get to vote Although you don't include Notre Dame is much easier to now stolen there, though they get their participation included as an independent, as does Army and Navy, which is interesting to yet another name gets.

Three votes in army and Navy, get one each well that's votes for Does your nominations for the Harris Interactive Football? Ok, this is gonna be all over the place. It is, but it's ok, we're making So far I mean the busy ass came round and ninety eight it established. There's five balls. We said the balls right well, yeah put four plus the national title game in. Oh, it's not just like. Ok, here's! rankings and then the seasons over, so one verses to you, go play tourists three go near the river and reformers five. It doesn't happen like that, but that's kind of color intuitive until you realise that the busiest algorithm is the most complex algorithm ever created by man and his chile, composed of a number of different algorithms spit numbers and then those numbers are factored in yeah. So I think chuck we put it off long enough and we can any longer. Let's talk mathematics in statistics. Okay,

you're gonna have to explain some of this, but because math is not my strong, wouldn't talk about a subjective. Poles have us that I was told there would be no math all. Try to handle the math is best possible. Words can be like that one kind of birth Eliza there I thought I understood well things have changed ash. Since ninety. Ninety eight, it was Originally the Beijing has set up a certain way and then in two thousand and two thousand for a lot of changes took place. It used to be four factors that weight into the busiest ranking. And now there are only three factors. De Ap, I'm sorry USA. Today, a coaches ball wreck. The April was replaced before the two thousand forces and I think by the Harris, Interactive all right and then the last third is a very complex computer, ranking system, an average of six computer rankings or averaged

and that is the last thirty three and thirty percent right in these computer rankings are basically independent. Groups are people who say they were following football: have a pretty good algorithm and here's our contribution there used to be, I think, eight yet another six, so you ve got guys like richer Billingsley, whose just a business man behind it and apparently likes to come up with college rankings in his spare time, their statisticians and mathematicians right in businessmen and businessmen yeah. So it is, we had. Maybe businesses, accounting by so little bill, taken due account. For example, the Billingsley report uses the strength of the opponent final score. And the win lose records of the teams. Before and after the game right yeah. In all these together and you create a numerical value right, some other people

or some other computer rankings systems like gum. Who else is there Seattle Times which is run by gaining Jeff Anderson, whose political science graduates Junior was, while I guess he's just a political scientists and Chris Hester, whose sportswriter and this to get together and they take quality of opponents in strength. The schedule right problem is Chuck, as you can't just go. Yeah Boise states do in pretty good, so we're gonna give them a five Sir Francis scheduler strength of opponent, equality of opponent, that kind of thing what they, what they have to take into account, are wide factors like a: U win, yea, it's not just good enough that you're going to win right. Who exactly did you beat and how do you quantify who you beat? While you say the word you play right, So we have to look at yours. Not only your opponent schedule right, but your opponents opponents schedule and then you

you put numerical values under those right right: the wind loss, and then you calculate that and you come up I know: numerical value, that's cause drink the schedule and get down to the nitty gritty. The strength of schedules calculated like this. You ve got your opponent schedule the chuck you play boys estate. Boise states been doing pretty good, I'm not playing their did. So you catch me on a blue football field. You want well there, they came visited you, but you beat him that as I work between the hedges, so you got two times Sl Anne S, always your opponent scheduled Boise State schedule. Yeah. You got two times that plus their Boise States, opponent schedules all of em right, calculated to wines in losses right. So it's two times Europe on schedule, plus Boise States, opponent schedules equals strength of schedule. Ok, that's

one component in some computer ranking and strength of schedule. I think used to be a stand alone component, but now it's just factored in with the rest, and they also throughout the margin of victory. That used to be a factor as well, but they could in a remember that was a big deal and coaches were run up. The score Florida would try and put like sixty points on a team. You know against like Louisiana Lafayette and there. I cannot that's not really to call that really should, in fact your answer that sterner right, the Scripts Howard Pole, which I don't think is used any longer. I used to have a penalty actually for running up the score, but ever was thrown out part of their computer. Ranking was, if you run of the score european allies, which is good because guys, like steel Spurrier, used too need to be held in check now he's holding himself in Czech. Look at you,

that's good, so that offer the computer ranking. Third, are you still get some on that night? I think I'm a good look at any have like. I said. One third is the USA today, coaches Paul and that is literally coaches voting. Not all of them always vote. I think there's a hundred and fourteen potential votes, but there Maybe a hundred and six people vote one week remember Steve Spurrier got summah criticism at one point has like he failed to vote like some really important weak a couple years back or something like that, and he explained that he did in his assistant lost the vote or something like that. A camera border was

but that is factored in his well. They still don't divide by the same number. You know the de facto down the number of votes that the number of possible vote. Yes, ok, demand more accurate. I have also heard accusations that in coaches poles, specifically, they have their kids vote. Sometimes like this can't be bothered vote. So they'll dispute, like Phyllis out formula, has been other kid. What sum games or whatever, and that? That's why human poles, or so fallible align coaches, don't vote in the countries. That opinion haven't necessarily vote in themselves and even if they have their not completely informed cause, then I'll see you horned frogs. I like frogs headache, that's how it ends up. Yes, well, that's easy! You ended up in the top twenty five ever so because a rough wigand, and then you have the Harris Interactive Poem that, like a said, replace the people, and they rank them. Each week from late September, the end of the season and I'm sorry

that has a hundred and fourteen participants. That was the one fourteen o second of an sorry it incorrectly right and are not just coaches are former coaches student athletes administrators some media, and that is where Notre Dame get to say as you get to nominate, who was on committee to vote for the interactive Paul and each conference cities were Notre. Dame gets away with some in my and each conference gets ten nominations, and The Dame gets three army gets one. A navy gets one yeah. So, like the big twelve twelve teams get ten nominations. Learning it's three other himself right in order to aims always got and some sort of weird free ride it for some reason why we're gonna hear about it? Yeah, but still I mean it, through they. There there's a lot of favouritism toward that team, and I dare anybody prove otherwise. Well, they haven't been greatly. But they are they still one of the most favoured one of those legendary teams. Guess

just because Ronald Reagan played for you doesn't mean you're, a great team in two thousand ten. You know breaching the choir my friend said Chuck when you take these things together, the hairs interactive pull the coat. Poor and the computer rankings numbers that you crunch together created one number that a third of certain third yeah night, the most you can get, is one correct At one point now, I usually one point oh, the lowest score, you're looking for low score here right most warmly, tiring- and this is where it gets a little hanky- is hit still. Your work lights in the article explicitly says. You want the lowest score right, yes, but in this other material that we ve gotten from the Bijou site. It looks like the law, the the higher the score, the closer to a one point, all the the

Your ranked here's why I say that check in in the coach his paw right coaches vote from one to twenty five right and assign each team ranking in reverse order. So if your number one you get twenty five points, if you're in twenty fifth place, you get one point I write, so you would want more points: correct, yeah, here's, here's where I think it gets worked out. If I'm correct and understanding this, what happens is let's take the Harris pull? For instance, ok, you take the total score of all your votes. And you divide that by two thousand eight hundred and fifty, which is the maximum number that anyone can receive. If all one hundred and fourteen voting members rank that's Team number one, so I say everybody ranks Alabama number.

Rule, one hundred and fourteen votes that bigots two thousand eight hundred and fifty total points. They divide that by two thousand eight hundred fifty, and so they end up getting a one vocation. Okay, so if you got some, if you divide it, I guess what one. If you had a one and you divided by two thousand eight hundred and fifty, I see it be much lower right and this out that such as follows. The same thing. It is divided by fourteen seventy five cassettes, the maximum number. So at least I am right in saying that the best you can possibly get from the Bc S formula is a one point: zero. I believe, That kind of follows that same thing, like you have a one in anything. Less would be like a point. Nine two o four point: eight seven, three right: yes, ok, yeah, that's exactly right! A plus, be policy divided by three would be point: nine, seven, three right, ok,

ok see. This is really confusing. It's like giving birth a watermelon, except with your head, a square japanese watermelon, which would be even worse, especially the edges, were sharp ladys when you're, like you know, if you're not into this and that sand that not all, ladies, are into it. But whoever is not enough. Football, and you poohpooh it think about how complex the system is. They ve worked out. It's not just a bunch of guys in around drinking beer smashed in each other's heads in very complex right, but I mean to the guys who were sitting around me. He chose heads in with beer being junk around them here. It's still like I'm rank. Twenty third to a case of shock sounds like we made it through the math part yeah. What else is left? well that sort of ETA.

The end of the year, the the math determines your ranking, and we should point out that the Bessie S ranking which determines who plays in these Bc S balls in national title, a game that doesn't start getting ranked. They don't do like precision, rankings or even early season. That starts in MID October right. The precision rankings are appealing USA. Today, yeah, I and all sorts of other rankings, there's all kinds of people at risk. The busiest can't conceivably start the computer rankings have to take in like strength of schedule. You can't you can determine that until somebody has a winner, alas, against them right what's your ranking by last year, right exactly so MID October, when the b c s room start to come out and that's about half way through the football season, so they have enough data. That point. I think, that's why they wait gutter, so check used to be the Anti Football League. The conference, the whole thing was called the vision one day and now it's called the football

ball subdivision programmes, whether you like it or not, for he hath exactly do you feel like I? We should have a play off a boy. I think that they should work a play off system to the existing system. Somehow and a lot of people think that I agree, I dont think that there should be like come while cards or anything like that. Although I think you need the mathematically, but I think that you have to still places emphasis on the regular season. It is possible to do that with with a play off system as well yeah. That's where the arguments against a play off as it they some people say that it will render the regular season vizier supporters say to render the regular seas, and that is important- and I dont understand that logic, because you still have to play those games to get ranked high to get right in the tournament rest. There now is not like the basketball and I'm gonna include sixty four football team spirit, they're gonna,

I mean I've heard different proposals from like sixteen teams to like the final eight teams battle it out. Finally, teams are very fond of me. Anything anything really determined on the football field would be fine with me exists. Only sport that it's not determined by a bracket of some sort. One of the reasons why it we may never see a play off is that the revenue associated with ball games has increased by like two thousand percent since species was instituted so well. I think you can still work work within that. Just a mammy can still call them ball games. And everything it you could just put it in the form of a bracket. It would add games which would add more money in another reason against it. They argue as the like risk of injury in their student athlete site. I want to drag it onto their academic year, but come on it's all about the dough yeah. It's his college s legs. But everyone knows it's about the money I did Rita. I read a few arguments today, like foreign against

and one rider he was from slate. He calculated from his calculations. He he thinks only seventeen percent of in sea double aid division when a teams even have a shot to compete for the national title by his calculation each year. How well, if you now a b c s school, then you're kind about the door to begin with, looks like boys. State may have a chance of there on the table this year, but that's a rarity. So that takes it down to forty three percent, and then he says, if you don't start the season ranked number twenty or higher than you're almost mathematically eliminated. So that takes you down to. Seventeen percent can even compete for the national title cut, but I also say I mean there's both sides of the coin. There also say if you're Reno,

I'm not gonna become Boise stake, as they are good football team, but, let's say you're like Colorado, her heck, Appalache and state who beat yes again that what two years Nevertheless, the eye opener awesome. They Michigan. I'm like a million dollars to come to miss impound on it at the same time janitor. But our teams, like that I mean Canada wanna hear their argument that they should be competing because they're, not big boys, are not plan, as he see, plan and the big ten of the big twelve year. But if you're not then you'll never attract talent, you can never get their soft feeding system here I mean it's very exclusive in the latest really well rostrum. The schools with the most money are the ones that get to begin in can perpetuate that the good program, the winning programme through more more money near your eye.

Did see another guy. That said that he thought they should do like on. I think of the sixteen team paw and end the top twelve Bcg schools like you, get your automatic. If you went ass, you see here. Few in the big ten you and if you in the big twelve, your aunt tat, your all your automatic bids make the rest like the last four, whatever at large bids, so you can still have the centre. What teams in there with the possibility and knew no answer on the football field. We can beat him great his voice David Oklahoma four years ago. We're, not ballgame sure remember. The statue of liberty play is crazy. They pull out of place like the nineteen forties, it was beautiful and one there was some, I think was it to three years ago. It was like the greatest for policies and of all time It was just all over the place, Amber M, O Missouri. Like number one for a little while others like twenty different team, but I, like the number one yeah yeah excitingly three years ago. Right. Yes,.

Realising like when you start this he's a number one. He run the table. Unless you go to that school, we, Mention too, though, there was one change about she's. Just about a month ago, the beasts yes announced. Teams that are eligible for policies and play are removed from it computer rankings and all six of the formulas. So basically, this is like the USA role. May I ask you as he's on probation now they can't play ball game for the next two years or something, and so they said what we can't factor them in a third. The number eight rank team. They can even play in the policies and right, but not only there, if you're not eligible, I got the impression like once you ve reached, wanted statistically impossible for you to be eligible through your losses. Right Taking your own rankings and everybody below you goes up one rank now. I think, if you think that mean if you're ineligible from like crime from from being banned from policies and black out to over nature and as far as the coat the human

Girls go. They said earlier the summer that the Poles will not include teams that are prohibited from the internet so that they want the same route by USC. There is to be CS. We can re record this and probably twenty thirty minutes and dumb. It will be entirely. Different near. If you want to know more about the peace. Yes, you should probably go to a b c s, dot, com and there's a handy search farther. Sure enough to give us a little while they get this article to snuff? Ok here we pray get somethin wrong here and there too I was hoping, I sure, hope we talked fast enough. There were no noticed, I have them in my head. My friends got Galvin with his arms cross, shaking his head he's in the sound with right behind you I can feel it actually. I will love thanks for Sending me and shut talk about college football for what

The reason you wanting you should go to house efforts, dot com, there's a handy search by their make something up and type it in, and it will take you to a beautiful new place, dispel it correctly or else it will. Take you anywhere. That brings us. Then I guess you listen to me. Yes, Josh's Gimme, a two part or big its long. We heard from a prisoner about our prison email and he gave us lots of good stuff, and I told him I was going to read it it's anonymous because he is a stretcher. Now is it on the level very good in his profession: he Square square and nobody in his profession knows that he was arrested for dealing math and while he wants to keep it that way, does he work here? Yes, he does this job and strict guys. I was arrested the mid nineties for selling an ounce of met to an undercover mark in Nevada of set up by a friend who had gotten arrested on a similar charge, decided that he would snitch raw

over and some some people said they would get probation, Unfortunately, under Nevada, zero tolerance policy. I had no priors as twenty two and I was looking at twenty five. The life for my first offence did, he include in here was that you want me to make a long story short. I jumped. Bail, Rand, Oregon and lived on the land for three years. The state is the real deal says they could be wrong. It is not happy rob He got tired of living life and the Lamb, obviously hired a lawyer self in like a good guy and manage to get the charges, dropped the level to traffic energy. Please deal and the law. Long story short. He was an for, I think three years and I just have a couple of presented It's on this end in them will do the next heartening Spock Attica he's not prison that had the courage to keep track of commissary accounts. There are given paper slips sort of like a sushi restaurant and we would turn the men once or twice a week. We would pick up our order and then

they are so items available. Were personal hygiene items, toothpaste, deodorant shampoo. If he could not by our own, you could get the state issued stuff, but that stuff was absolute garbage and I should mention to yet another mail from someone who said that Bob Barkers company, just looking at a makes prison so yeah, that's true, I am looking at up as lady in this. Even though, is that we really will get your pet spade neutered an island. Your presence of free of cigarettes were available. Both packs of cigarettes like camel Barbara as well as list go and rowing papers, packs of cigarettes recalled tailors short for tailor made. They are expensive and out of reach for most inmates financially having

tailors was a status symbol and their rarity made them great bargaining chips. Interestingly, most grey market trading, he reserves are turned black market for contraband. Were items purchased out of the commissary things you could get with purchased commissary items for trade were limited only by the creativity of the inmates, for example a pack of cigarettes a week. You could pay somebody to iron your clothing for you. She would always look as nice as possible for visits. If you wanted to write somebody a letter, you could pay one of several talented artists to custom decorate your envelope with roses are balloons or whatever else you can imagine. Basically, it was like on demand customary stationary, and it was actually a high service demand and prison said that is the into part. One Joshua hanging for productive look case, a check. You went to him, about bucker, gravely there is a guy named by Barker who makes prison toiletries but he's not backed by a crisis according to snub. So

he very much Chuck for part one. I myself am very excited about part tune. I'm glad I don't have to wait until next Thursday to hear the hearing in about thirty forty minutes exactly if you want to send an email about Bob Barker, your favorite college football team, or your mom's home cooking?
