CBers are claiming it is. The team has a chance to win 20 games and go to the NIT. There were some quality wins (and, of course, some horrible losses).
I think the OP's point is all the Chicken Little BYU fans need to calm down and step back from the ledge a bit, and I agree with that. Even if BYU doesn't win another game this year, having an 18-win season is not the end of the world.
