I suspect most of CB doesn’t watch any college basketball other than BYU games.

macdizzle

7:54am

Hold up. So you’re telling me if I watch another college basketball game somebody’s going to lose?

Forbidden Fruit

7:57am

It’s true. And it’s usually the road team.

macdizzle

7:58am

This is true the numbers don’t lie tough to get a road win in college basketball.

Forbidden Fruit

7:59am

Road games are always tough. Particularly for rebuilt & young teams.

Who has time to watch other games? We have lives to live.

Swap the loss of Kansas with SMU we are 10-2 in the top 12 playing for

bigshake

7:47am

It also puts one loss early in the season.

Kdubb

7:49am

The committee's job was to take the entire season as a whole and every week do a reranking...

Coug

Or just play Mercer at the end of the season instead of 4 conference games.

Notre Dame lost to NIU at home; Kansas would beat NIU by 40

2FarGone No One of Consequence

7:47am

Just assume that their job is to maximize TV ratings and it will make more sense

dYrtbYkerYder

7:49am

Exactly, but let's just not call it a playoff — because it isn't.

2FarGone

7:50am

It was early in the season. They don’t consider early season losses.

Kdubb

7:50am

Notre Dame has one stumble but they have looked like a playoff team since.

N8Dawg

Oh, this one is extremely easy. Sagarin #1, FPI #2, SP+ #9, KFord #4, SOR #5, etc.

Sanderson did not buy Evermore. He owns land next to it.

Right. Evermore was bought by some couple that owns a company titled

I said this before: Non-P4 teams are getting over-ranked on purpose.

LegitCoug

I think it's clear the committee views the Big 12 as closer to MWC than to SEC

BYU definitely has some ground to make up at this point in time.

LV Mike

7:23am

I’d go to SeatGeek and look to see the cheapest price and then price it below that just to unload.

Swag Kazekage

I’d also list them on StubHub and Ticketmaster.

Japan Coug

I’m sure you aren’t the only one.

pink22

Talk about insult to injury Mike, sorry. I had planned to go as well, but we committed to stay over Thanksgiving in Mass

CLCougar

7:31am

Yeah, I almost bought tickets myself and then thought...

volleyjiver

7:35am

Me too. I was going to buy tickets after the utah game, then decided to wait

Japan Coug

7:39am

Also, I’m not so certain the tickets wouldn’t have fallen in value if BYU made it as well

@CougarBoard

7:08am

The system is never going to be fair. But it's 100X better than it was even last

Shinshin

7:04am

Problem is, the committee is setting the precedent going forward to screw anyone

CObluezone

7:07am

Yep. Now is the time to head it off or it will become the accepted pattern & process.

Soupie

7:14am

The committee is way more involved in setting the narrative than in basketball…

kotacoug

7:46am

BYU has the #12 resume. Tied 1st in a p4 league beat #1 ACC team OOC on the road

Mr. Scoobs

7:22am

Your last sentence is 100% spot on and infuriating

Idacoug

7:25am

It’s a deliberate effort to diminish the B12 & ACC but especially B12.

Soupie

7:27am

And as soon as the SEC/B10 have extricated the ACC's most valuable properties,

LeftOfNormal

8 conf games, 7-8 home games, never leave your region, inflate preseason ranks so no loss is a bad loss = SEC formula.

BYU's NET ranking dropped from #48 to #69- that's not even a bubble team

nova_coug_fan

Never dropped below #12 last yr. Yet so many thought we’d be so much better

Yormark is watching basketball and has no clue football is still going on.

For a commissioner who seemed to have started out strong, he's been pretty absent. Not advocating for the conf at all

Crazy Joe Davola

Likely positioning himself for a bigger job sadly. Doesn't want to make waves.

VACOUGFAN

6:30am

We lost at home to a team that had only won 3 games

machete

6:34am

And when you thought KU was a late season hot team - BAM! They lose to Baylor

jrifkin48

6:37am

Still not much different or worse than a loss to OU or Vandy

CPAcoug87

6:49am

Kansas beat BYU, Colorado, and Iowa State. The committee has access to that info

And this is why they hurt the Big12 in the rankings

In three consecutive weeks

jrifkin48

Resume-style rankings consistently have us in the 10-12 range. On resume alone,

cougarfan84

6:43am

Don’t we look at where a team finishes? Kansas finished 5-7…

Yukon

Notre Dame lost to NIU at home; Kansas would beat NIU by 40

2FarGone

7:42am

Of you look at Massey composite rankings, Miami is #13 and BYU is #15.

If you limit it to resume ranks, then BYU would be up at #12. However, it would

Not sure fully, but i suspect it's merit based and not clouded by TV ratings and Big, historical name motivators

What tv ratings? That helps right there.

Soupie

7:26am

Here

BYUFam1

So basically the same, with more conference champs

Heath Squashwell

And less $ at stake, so less corruption

Crazy Joe Davola

I suppose but some glaring differences

BYUFam1

More like the "Secbig football invitational"

College football playoff rules were meant to be fluid. Who knows what it will be

Cosmo Kramer

Is there really a P4? P5 was a thing because there were autobids. Those are no more. There's certainly sentiment of P2

I don’t get the complaints.

I don’t get why BYU and the Big XII are held to a higher standard.

LOL no you sound like a whiner

CasualFan

You're right. All I want is for every team to be held to the same standards. There are like 8 teams in front of us
