POLL: If BYU's basketball season ends at the Sweet 16, who had the better year?

To me, getting to the Sweet16 is the equivalent of earning a playoff spot.

Probably better, because there’s so many more teams in CBB

Final ranking #13 in football, tie for #16 in basketball. Football it is

I mean, technically you could say we are tied for 9th at worst for basketball.

When it’s a tie I go with the worse number, in this case 16. More realistic

Interesting, considering most people almost always do the opposite.

I think both had comparable years

Mar 24, 11:00am

#13 out of 130 teams, or #16 (minimum) out of 350 teams?

200+ of those should likely be Division 2. I don’t count them as serious teams.

To your point, if they decided to include FCS as a part of FBS, would that make

There is a final AP poll after the tourney IIRC. We will likely be #13 or better

Both had great years! Basketball created more buzz because of KY and AJ.

Pretty equivalent in my mind

Football, but it’s close. Football tied for first in the conference and had a more consistent season.

I would argue Big 12 is a better basketball conference than football conference

If we are talking resumes and strength of schedule, I’d counter that football’s SOR was much stronger than basketball.

134 FBS teams 352 basketball teams.

I don’t agree with that line of thought. The bottom 200+ basketball teams don’t really count.

TCuz

There are way more than 134 teams eligible in the AP poll for football.

Playing for a title in bball and going deep in the tourney makes it an easy

To me, that home loss vs Kansas will always be a bitter end to the FB season.

BYU should've made the CFP but was kept out.
