18 is a weird cutoff? What about Top 20?

7:20am

Because 2 of the top 18 sounds worse than 4 of the top 20 (or 5 of the top 22).

Clearly Big12 is doing awesome. That totally changes it. Claiming two in top 18

I want to be upset with rankings and SEC bias...but, BYU had full control of its own destiny, then crapped the bed.

Not just full control, but a two-game lead. We could have lost one, and still had full control.
