Over the last 7 years all 210 teams in the pre-tourney Pomeroy top 30

Well we are about breaking records this year.

I'm guessing there is a pretty good chance that someone from 30-35 passes us up

But how many of those had only 1 top 50 win and 3 bad losses?

Mr. Scoobs

3/11/15 9:10am

Bad losses used to mean sub 150 rpi losses - BYU doesn't have any of those

San Deigo is currently 153, but most are considering sub-100 losses "bad".

Mr. Scoobs

3/11/15 9:15am

So the choke job to USD is the only bad loss

dixdog

Only if you consider sub-150 a bad loss, unfortunately sub-100 losses don't

Mr. Scoobs

San Diego is #96 on Pomeroy; Pepperdine is #105.

Doesn't really matter, RPI of those teams will be the reason they are

Mr. Scoobs

3/11/15 9:31am

BYU has 4 top 75 wins. Is there something sacred about top 50 RPI?

Problem is beating teams at home that aren't going to make the dance won't

Past performance in NCAA isn't a factor. BYU will only be evaluated in what they

Mr. Scoobs

I don't believe this

mogelijk

They explicitly state is is not a factor in selction or seeding. They are free

Mr. Scoobs

3/11/15 11:30am

So why discuss RPI which Committee explicitly states is very minor?

roseyscenario

3/11/15 11:49am

Your own RPI isn't so important as the RPI of who you beat and who you lost to.

Mr. Scoobs

3/11/15 12:00pm

They are considering as bad sub-100 losses that they want to consider as bad

Our problem is more about lack of quality wins. Had we had no bad losses, we

Mr. Scoobs

3/11/15 9:40am

It is only the lack of quality wins; they just feel like they have to add more

CoopDizz

3/11/15 9:46am

I think the absense of bad losses would help justify our lack of quality wins.

Mr. Scoobs

3/11/15 10:00am

The two worst Boise losses happened early and due to injury

BYU can make the same argument.

BSU's were last year, BYU's were late Jan/early Feb

If my team were playing right now, I wouldn't be on another team's fan site

A single-tasker huh?

BSUbluNorange

And had a top 10 true road record?

As a side note, look at seeding for the pre-tourney ranking in 2011 and tell me
