I ship and receive a lot with my small business. I avoid ever shipping with Fed Ex also try to avoid buying supplies from any company using them.
They are so bad amfviys mainly due to their policy of ripping off their delivery "subcontractors" to the point that they just get rid of packages like hot potatoes.
USPS and even UPS are immensely more reliable for me.

Has a lot to do with the teams we played.
That's a good point. Even though there's an adjustment for opponents, it's usually not really enough to compensate for the differences in games where an inferior team lets you feel really comfortable running offense and one that makes everything a war.
On a side note, that's where I think our defense struggles. The attempt to play so much to statistics works ok but doesn't often seem to just completely frustrate opponents. Which you can do easier at the college level than the NBA.

Oklahoma needs to be looked at again for the NCAA if they win their last three games. They've won three of their last five and are playing good basketball
They're playing pretty well. Even winning their last 3 games probably won't be enough though. Teams that make it in with that amount of losses almost always have some big offsetting factor like multiple great wins (Q1-A) and/or really high NET/WAB.
I think Oklahoma would at least need a tourney run added to that where they beat a couple of the higher ranked SEC teams.
College for whatever she's most interested in is what I tell my niece. The happiest people I know, by far, are ones that have learned how to enjoy life more than live life on a mission to "make bank."

Sure there's some really good stats with Philon below the top 50 but It just means we've been even better on offense in the minutes played with Holloway + Allen + spot up shooters.

I’m really struggling to understand this situation with white women.
Is it trying to relive high school as a popular girl?
In most cases I'd guess this. It's a small town type I've seen way too often:
Gets married right after HS, stays in small town and has kids.
Is bored and unfulfilled and too focused on small town school culture and everything else is drudgery.
Believes high school was the best years of her life and, sadly, they actually were. They were the only years she ever had "fun".

It seems like every time this has come out for weeks, all the SEC "Should Be In" teams lose and all the "Work To Do" teams win and they switch places.

Pretty funny. Stereotypes are right on.
It's uncanny how every SEC bubble team edges near first four out then gets a great Q1 win.
Looks like they're totally safe then loses 2 in a row.

What exactly distinguishes Self this year. Kansas is good but almost the same resume as Alabama or Tennessee or Arkansas to just name a couple.

What are the higher prices?
For my small business:
Many everyday items such as plastic and paper merch bags skyrocketed after the tariffs (after most already nearly doubled in 2020).
Shipping costs skyrocketed as well. Not to mention the amount of employee time I pay to deal with every international package now needing 10 emails or calls back and forth to sort out customs confusion.
I was often charged import taxes on items explicitly exempt from tariffs or incorrect fees but to get refunded or get it sorted out cost a lot of hours and getting in touch with anyone who can deal with it is nearly impossible.
These are just a few examples from a small business. Sure almost everyone has other specific examples.
As a small business and not Amazon, I had to raise prices this past fall to keep up after never raising them from Covid pandemic increases.
NYC has been full of free vegetable and produce markets for a while. I often walk about 25 blocks to my shop and there's 5 giveaway spots just along that walk.
Not sure when we started getting riled up about people giving stuff to the less fortunate but I guess we just need to find the bad in everything these days.

That's now being added to list of of violent UCSD campus crimes.
The one "crime" I recall was a kid that staged a "protest" seemingly for weeks on the steps of Geisel where he just played sitar tapes all afternoon on a boom box with a sign that said "Sitars Against The Administration"

Not that this in indicative of anything, but there might be more lambos in la jolla than black people
They're likely driving Lambos too if they're in La Jolla. If there's a criticism of that area it would be over surveillance and unnecessarily high police/security presence. It's the kind of place where they actually ticket for jaywalking.
If there are any "facts" behind this "ranking" at all it's schools that have extremely low thresholds for campus police officially reporting things like verbal arguments, mild bullying etc as potential domestic/hate crimes.
That kind of over active policing probably coincides with campuses that are among the safest for what people think of as dangerous crime.
The people publishing this list know that too but did it anyway to get Facebook shares from riled up old folks.

UCLA is adjacent to Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and Brentwood, upscale as it gets. Years ago, an Asian female student was shot and killed by a stray bullet in a gang shootout in Westwood Village. It made the national news. Her family was devastated.
Very sad.
But not sure what one freak tragedy has to do with the wildly misleading graphic about dangerous campuses designed to stir up paranoid old folks looking at their Facebook feeds the OP posted.
If being caught in a chance gang shootout is the criteria, I can think of 500 campuses off the top of my head that are much more likely spots than any on this list.
This has been posted before and is absurd.
The list is COMPLETELY about how crimes are reported/catagorized and has NOTHING to do with whether the campus is "dangerous."
Campuses like UC-San Diego are on this list because a student making fun another's accent counts as a "reported hate crime" when the campus is a park-like wonderland filled with upper middle class overachievers right on the Pacific coast and surrounded on all other sides by one of the richest neighborhoods in the world.
It's amazing how much this board just slings ignorance.

Kentucky just beating USCe will leave them on thin ice.
I get your point that it would be a very ugly finish and most Kentucky fans would probably just want the season to be over. However, there really wouldn't be a bad loss in the bunch.
They'd end up:
NET 35
5 Q1 wins (3 of those importantly in Q1-A)
9-13 in Q1/2 games
Anything is possible but no team to date has ever been left out with anywhere near those type combined numbers.

Conference record is about dead last in anything the committee considers. They're looking at the Q1 and Q2 wins and bad losses and then metrics like WAB, NET etc.
Kentucky needs to beat South Carolina and that's about all to just get in the field. The Q1 A wins at Tennessee, at Arky and N St Johns and what would still be good NET and WAB numbers will have them well above the cutoff line teams.
It's been almost uncanny how the other 5 SEC bubble teams have done exactly enough to stay just on the right side of bubble the past 2 weeks.
Georgia may be the only one that's given themselves any breathing room.
None are in desperate shape as far as having to beat a top team to get in though. It will come down to how many can avoid being upset by one of the bottom five.
