And, this is why they will jump pretty fast in the rankings if they win this

Wow, has BYU ever been that high in NET?

Of course not. The NET started in 2018.

I was mostly asking facetiously, I know NET is a baby at this point.

CPAcoug87

12/4/23 9:33am

I’ve always said that NET is the superior ranking system compared to all others.

TCuz

12/4/23 7:26am

Great to see us in the top 10 w/ titans such as AZ, Purdue, CSU and Princeton

Kdubb

12/4/23 7:28am

AZ, Purdue, & CSU are all really good this year.

RdF3

12/4/23 7:33am

And the first release in early December is superior to later releases.

And this is kinda like the official rankings right? The committee

DanSmith

12/4/23 7:27am

99% sure the committee uses all the metrics available to them now.

Kdubb

12/4/23 7:29am

NET has higher correlation to seeding than any other metric, but there's

This will probably be the highest NET ranking EVER for BYU

nephicoug

12/4/23 7:29am

I mean sure, NET is 4 years old.

TCuz

12/4/23 7:31am

I'm not just talking about the PAST 4 years

nephicoug

12/4/23 7:32am

Ok sure, hypothetically in a ranking system that didn’t exist before this decade. Meaningful.

TCuz

12/4/23 7:33am

I think he means we'll never be higher than #2 in NET in the future either

And you were wrong

So where do the 1-seeds play during the tournament? Gotta get my travel plans

willkie40

12/4/23 7:45am

Salt Lake for 1st 2 rounds, LA for 3rd and 4th, Phoenix for Final Four

jreid191

12/4/23 8:03am

Perfect! I can bring my snowboard

Who wasn't voting for us still?

The mainframe in Iowa, I think.

Houston is bound to lose a game right?

Methusaleh22

12/4/23 7:54am

Hope this team keeps away from headlines. Can’t have a lapse against Utah who will be very motivated by this.

Soupie

3 B12 teams in top 10, 6 in the top 16 and 7 in the top 20 - with 4 of those

This has an awful sense of foreboding about it

Huge Manatee

12/4/23 9:03am

exactly, we are always a paper tiger when we get ranked high. Things will go

nybyblue

What algorithm is used for the NET, I'm wondering?

Croweater

12/4/23 9:27am

It’s top secret, and the selection committee reserves the right to tweak it whenever they want. Seriously.

RdF3

12/4/23 9:33am

then we are screwed

Croweater

12/4/23 9:38am

The B12 is soooo much deeper than any other conference. Jeez

Marc Spector

12/4/23 9:28am

This gives a pretty good reading how tough it just might be to win B12

ImuaKahuku

12/4/23 9:51am

7 B12 teams in the top 20 (well, 19). BEast and SEC next with 3 (between 12-20), then B1G with 2.

so... Houston vs BYU in the NCAA champtionship? Cougs vs Coogs. That'd be

This is wild. I feel like most of us fans are still in disbelief

As fun as this ride is, and I love watching this team play, I would almost bet

BYUHgrad

12/4/23 1:24pm

I'd take that deal right now if offered.

CPAcoug87

12/4/23 1:41pm

Amen! 100% agreed!

BYUHgrad

12/4/23 2:15pm

I just hope this doesn’t go to our heads
