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

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".

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

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

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

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

I don't believe this

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?

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.

And had a top 10 true road record?

Plus, they factor in injuries at the time of those games.

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