How are points and ranking determined in college football?

Rankings are determined by different "POLLS", the NCAA Coaches poll and the Associated Press (AP) Poll. Generally, most media outlets accept the coaches poll as the official ranking, and when you see a ranking on a televised game, it's the coaches poll rank. When you say points, I'm assuming you mean the BCS point system. The BCS takes several polls into consideration to include a computer polls. It averages these polls and assigns a weight (think point scale) to the average. It then adds for losses and strength of schedule. The team with the best (lowest) score gets ranked the highest. The two highest at the end of the college season are ranked 1 and 2 and play each other in a major Jan bowl.

What does Yahoo stand for?

Yahoo!Yahoo's backronym (an acronym created after a term is already in use) is "Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle". It was patterned after the acronym "Yet Another Compiler Compiler" (YACC) which was popular among Unix afficionados at the time. With Jerry Yang known for his foul mouth and David Filo for his bluntness, the creators figured they fit the definition of a "yahoo": rude and uncouth.

Yahoo was a word introduced by Jonathan Swift in his novel "Gulliver's Travels" to describe a race of brutes (resembling men).
Yahoo does not stand for anything. It is called yahoo because the founders Filo and Yang selected the name because they liked the slang definition of a "yahoo"

Are Yahoo answers reliable?

Asking and answering on Yahoo! Answers is like going out into a crowded town square and asking and answering people's questions: It is a good place to start and generally people are well-intentionned. However, you more often than not ask people who have no clue about the subject they are talking about, and more often than not, people will give you outright wrong answers. Even many of the "experts" and "Top Contributors" often consistently give outright ignorant and incorrect answers. There are also a lot of trolls on some sections. Furthermore, the Y!A community tends to be quite emotional, especially on the sections "Polls & Surveys" and "Religion & Spirituality", which are almost completely unreliable. Furthermore, there are sections like "Current Events" that are used almost entirely for people's dirty laundering, i.e racist and political circle-...you get the point.

All in all, for the most part, Yahoo! Answers is a good place to start your search, but you should not believe what you see on there, even if they are from "Top Contributors" or other experts, until you can further validate it with other reliable sources.

How does yahoo decide top search results?

Yahoo operates much like Google. There are certain criteria you have to meet to be listed in the top search results. Yahoo is a bit more lenient than Google though. Google is know for constantly changing their algorithms. Yahoo's remain a bit more stagnant. So what are some of these requisites or obligations? First and foremost, content! You need to make sure that you are the leading resource for the query (search phrase). In the past, people who wanted just pictures on their homepage would put all the text somewhere on the page written in the same color as the background so it wouldn't be seen. The search engines caught on to that one and acted accordingly. This is why these algorithms exist. No matter the search engine you need what is called keyword density to be ranked for the corresponding keyword. If you are plumber, and you want to rank for "Pasadena plumbing" then you need to have "Pasadena plumbing" on your page within the context of your content. People have tried and tried to trick the search engines. If you are looking for stability it is best to stay away from this. The second important key to this process is to have people talking about you. This can be achieved by using social media, ie Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram... It is also accomplished by having other sites referring people to your site. This is what we call "back-linking." However, back-linking becomes almost irrelevant if you do not have the content.

What is Yahoo BrowserPlus?

Yahoo! BrowserPlus™ says that "it is software that lets you do more inside your web browser. BrowserPlus makes it easy to install and use web plugins for a richer experience on the internet."

Actually, there is NO such thing as "richer experience", because we see on a website only what the webdesigner put inside it, not what Yahoo thinks that we should see there. In fact, it is a spyware that watch our web behaviour, exactly as when Google reads our links - instead of sending us directly to them ( as it was previously done ), after we click on a site from Google search results page.

How do you remove the advertisement at the bottom of Yahoo's chat room page?

Yahoo ads By far, the simplest way to remove advertisements (or other unwanted items) from a web page is to use a browser that can support removal of these display elements.

One known browser that can do this is the Firefox browser. Download and install Firefox. Next, install the Remove It Permanently extension. You can remove any display items you want from sites you visit often. Both Firefox and extensions are free.

When using a client outside of a web browser (I.e., Yahoo Instant Messenger), you have a couple of options. You could use a program called YTK, which has an option to hide these ads in Yahoo Messenger, though it costs money. Alternatively, you could use a 3rd party client such as YahELite instead, which displays no ads.

New :

I say you should either get firefox or google chrome, install adblock plus, and block the ads.
