the best teams and not the most deserving teams. So they’ll likely just say they felt, based on the eye test, that BYU was not one of the best teams if they lose. We can agree that losing in the CCG hurts our case much less than a regular season game.
They’ve also stated that they are not supposed incent margin of victory but the committee chair cited that as part of the rationale for ranking Indiana over BYU despite our much better resume.
We’ll see how it plays out but I’ll be shocked if non-SEC/B10 teams get at-large bids unless they’re up against 3-loss teams from those conferences.
