[Deseret News]

8:00am

No actually when your students do a chant it does represent your school

BYU '80

My thoughts exactly. They are literally what the school represents.

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.

I agree. Just don't make it so painfully obvious that you don't know what you're

It wasn’t losing. It’s how we lost. We looked completely lost out there. Zero

Do you think the people might be upset about getting blown out by a 5-3 team

Goliath

8:04am

There’s losing and then there’s a 20 point loss in one of only 3 tough non-conference games on the schedule.

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

7:51am

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

dYrtbYkerYder

7:55am

It doesn't matter... we could play all of the same OOC teams that the SEC plays and we'd get dinged for it...

Coug

8:03am

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.

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

RSL

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

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

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

I’d also list them on StubHub and Ticketmaster.

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

CLCougar

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

TCuz

I bought refundable airfare. You never bet on BYU unless it's 100%. Are you new

The offense needs better recruiters. Yeah some small tweaks, but mainly better recruiting.

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

Shinshin

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,

If we go MWC and make it to the playoff we get utterly embarrassed on the field.

dYrtbYkerYder

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

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
