When Wemby shoots 6/11 from 3, there's nothing you can do on defense.

One thing jumps out at me about UH vs. Alabama- both teams make FTs

Alabama vs Houston refs stink

Houston just got screwed over by ref. Terrible call to give Bama 2 pts

Gabe Madson have a year so far for Utah. Never even heard of him until this year. Was he a under the radar player?

Under a man-bun, & a mountain of hair.

SinkingQuffa

8:25pm

All true, but looks like a player at 6’6”. Utah looks to be underrated a bit. I hope I’m wrong. It’s early

gmoney7

8:27pm

He's an underrated athlete, but not as physical as he should be. He also tends to get a lil crazy w his shot selection.

SinkingQuffa

Wrong board.

Oh that’s right. You’re forgiven because of all that other work you do for us:-)

Big Daddy D

He’s a chucker. When he’s on, they can be tough. Gotta defend him.

He’s still at Utah???

So, basically, the committee sees the BIG12 as a G5 conf masking as a P4 conf?

Traveshamockery

8:23pm

Pretty much

Dark Forest Green

8:23pm

Not necessarily. They do have 5 teams ranked. That's 2 more than the ACC. It's

cougarfan84

It would be ridiculous to not give BYU a bye especially if SMU wins the ACC

Yep- disappointing that the Big12 is seen as the same as the MWC - ugh

Is AJ Dybantsa a BYU commit? Other team commit? Uncommitted?

Dickinson, you stiff. If he's not a mismatch, he needs to be a <10 min player. He's costing KU both ways.

MwangoleCoug9

It seems like he's toned it down a lot in recent years. He could be unhelpful at times 4-5 years back.

SinkingQuffa

He became an inefficient, black hole for a bit in his career. And got some healthy criticism during that phase.

SinkingQuffa

He was being nice. Just wait till you hear his thoughts on Travis Hansen

The Committee to the Big 12: keep complaining about getting only one team in,

Shinshin

7:17pm

The Big 12 has five top 25 teams, same as the B1G, yet its conference champion may not get a bye or could be left out

runningryan Pretend Athletic Director

7:16pm

B1G is ridiculously overrate

BYU '80

But it won't be once Utah joins!

Cougar Junkie

7:36pm

I mean, four B1G teams have a combined 0 losses to all other teams

NGB

7:35pm

I wasn’t criticizing the B1G, merely showing the Big 12’s number of ranked teams should have told them something

runningryan

7:38pm

Play people on the road and play some tougher games and that doesn’t hold up.

Sagarin has the B12 as better than the B1G. B1G is just too heavy, which

Clemson and Alabama are ranked where they are based on brand alone.

Sure, I’ll make it make sense for you. Sagarin: Clemson #17 BYU #28 FPI: Clemson #14 BYU #30 SP+: Clemson #15 BYU #18

Garbage metrics used only when convenient

coug10278

puntersarepeople

7:09pm

Ok, add KFord: Clemson #13 BYU #28 and Massey: Clemson #15 BYU #18

TCuz

7:11pm

Two of the metrics you’ve used have a very slight edge to Clemson

puntersarepeople

7:16pm

Resume metrics also matter. I’m not saying they don’t. But every efficiency metric favors Clemson

TCuz

7:19pm

Maybe you just can’t read

puntersarepeople

7:22pm

I can read fine. You only care about the resume metrics and want to exclude all efficiency metrics

TCuz

Edited for clarity

puntersarepeople

Doesn’t FPI still have USC is at like 15 with their 5 losses

Kolipoki

7:11pm

It loves high recruiting rankings which artificially props up bluebloods

puntersarepeople

7:12pm

Well clearly if there is a result or two by the metrics you don’t like you just throw it out completely.

TCuz

7:13pm

Throwing out bad data is something scientists do all the time

puntersarepeople

7:18pm

Make the objective rankings as subjective as possible! Redo it until we agree with the AP Poll!!

TCuz

I don’t think you understand science very well

Can you make those rankings make sense? If byu has played a tougher schedule

They are efficiency metrics. It’s like KenPom in basketball. It’s how well you have played in games
