Alabama dropped to 10th 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:22.759 after losing to Oklahoma. The rankings now feature 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.399 five southeastern conference teams in the top 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.160 10, potentially paving their way to the playoffs. 00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:33.279 Miami, currently ranked 13th, faces a challenging 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.939 path to the conference championship. Exciting 00:05:36.939 --> 00:05:39.620 rivalry games this Thanksgiving weekend could 00:05:39.620 --> 00:05:43.519 drastically impact playoff positions. The chances 00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.339 of favorites winning these matchups sit at just 00:05:46.339 --> 00:05:52.600 15 % in local sports. The Mountain West football 00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:55.720 rankings for Week 12 show the Aztecs holding 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.740 steady while the Broncos fall. The college football 00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:03.060 season is entertaining, producing both fun and 00:06:03.060 --> 00:06:06.410 heartbreaking results. In this week's rankings, 00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:09.569 San Diego State remains in the top spot, with 00:06:09.569 --> 00:06:12.250 their defense rising to the occasion, while the 00:06:12.250 --> 00:06:15.829 offense still needs improvement. New Mexico has 00:06:15.829 --> 00:06:18.689 found renewed success, tied for second place, 00:06:18.810 --> 00:06:21.970 and Fresno State continues to contend for a title 00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:26.029 spot. However, Boise State struggles with back 00:06:26.029 --> 00:06:29.250 -to -back losses, and Colorado State shows signs 00:06:29.250 --> 00:06:35.279 of fatigue. In top new... New research indicates 00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.220 that the shingles vaccine may help prevent dementia 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:42.019 by lowering the risk of reactivation of the varicella 00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:45.779 zoster virus. One of the largest studies on this 00:06:45.779 --> 00:06:48.720 link found that individuals with multiple shingles 00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:51.800 episodes had a higher dementia risk for several 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.980 years post -second outbreak. The findings published 00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:58.759 in the journal Nature Medicine emphasize the 00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:01.180 importance of shingles vaccination for brain 00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:05.310 health. Researchers analyzed over 100 million 00:07:05.310 --> 00:07:11.629 medical records from 2007 to 2023. Those vaccinated 00:07:11.629 --> 00:07:15.750 showed a 27 to 33 % lower dementia risk over 00:07:15.750 --> 00:07:19.949 three years. This study suggests a greater understanding 00:07:19.949 --> 00:07:23.189 of the virus's role in neurodegeneration could 00:07:23.189 --> 00:07:27.269 improve dementia treatments. In business news, 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.180 Alphabet stock has risen amid excitement over 00:07:31.180 --> 00:07:34.220 the artificial intelligence boom, but its chief 00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:37.680 executive officer sees elements of irrationality 00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:42.319 in AI investment. Sundar Pichai launched Alphabet's 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.779 Gemini 3 on Tuesday, calling it state -of -the 00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:49.279 -art in reasoning. He emphasized that Gemini 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.560 3 better understands context and intent behind 00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.889 requests, enhancing user experience. In midday 00:07:56.889 --> 00:08:01.889 trading, Alphabet's stock was up 0 .5 % at $286. 00:08:03.389 --> 00:08:06.509 Pikai warned that no company is going to be immune 00:08:06.509 --> 00:08:11.170 if an AI bubble bursts. Concerns about overinvestment 00:08:11.170 --> 00:08:14.350 in a AI are growing, with a majority of investors 00:08:14.350 --> 00:08:19.009 indicating companies are overinvesting.
