    AKB: Anyone here well versed in televisions?

    While you say you don’t really use streaming services, if you think you might in the future do not get a Samsung TV. Its smart tv operating system is Tizen, which has significant limitations on both what apps can be used and how the apps function. Most streaming apps use a different OS so only...

    Here is the verbiage on the history of the AP poll (with reference to UPI) from Wikipedia. I was aware of this because my parent's contemporaries often talked about the bowl games being more of a reward. Note that last two sentences at the bottom. The AP college football poll's origins go...

    Bowl Games going forward

    Yes the games "counted" but the final AP and UPI polls used to determine the national champion were after the regular season ended, not after bowl season.
