Those rankings are subjective. Winning a game is objective.

I will go with the objective evidence here, as it is stronger evidence.

BM me if you don't know what subjective or objective means and I'll explain.

Here's the best question to ask about

I'm trying to understand why people care.

The Lone Wolf

BYU still has more fans in the State of Utah but...

No bowl games, new OCs every year, losing record. Yeah, best in Utah.

mikecito

Beat all the other teams in Utah. Yeah, best in Utah.

Virginia Ute

And the Nets just beat the Heat.

lawboy

4/12/14 2:19pm

This is a terrible comeback considering the Nets best the Heat all 4 times they

Lanai

Exactly my point. Four in a row.

lawboy

4/12/14 5:09pm

That was just an awful, awful comparison.

Virginia Ute

Better than Stanford, too. This is great stuff.

mikecito

4/12/14 2:27pm

This year they were. See scoreboard.

The Lone Wolf

4/12/14 2:31pm

It's called an upset when a crappier team beats the better team.

mikecito

4/12/14 3:17pm

Utah over Stanford was an upset. You are correct there.

Virginia Ute

4/12/14 3:20pm

BYU was favored in all four games by Vegas.

mikecito

4/12/14 3:23pm

The spread in Vegas on those games was not large enough to qualify as an upset.

Virginia Ute

4/12/14 3:37pm

Ok, I educated myself on it a little more.

mikecito

4/12/14 4:16pm

No, I will not agree to disagree.

Virginia Ute

4/12/14 7:24pm

Well kindly define exactly what the spread has to be to be an upset.

mikecito

4/12/14 8:12pm

Utah/Stanford may have been an upset. 9/12, 4 n a row makes Utah the better team

The Lone Wolf

4/12/14 3:26pm

I don't think it's luck. I think Utah prepares for the rivalry much better.

mikecito

4/12/14 5:48pm

And yet all the polls and rankings put BYU well ahead of Utah. Strange.

mikecito

Those rankings are subjective. Winning a game is objective.

Virginia Ute

Personal attacks don't make you smarter, nor more right.

mikecito

4/12/14 4:22pm

Do you know the definition of 'cherry pick?'

Virginia Ute

4/12/14 7:28pm

I'd rather not get my education from Utah. Thanks for offering though.

mikecito

4/12/14 8:18pm

Such a bizarre way to look at this.

The Lone Wolf

4/12/14 3:52pm

Both games within one score. "Clearly" isn't the word I would use.

mikecito

4/12/14 4:31pm

ALL the polls and rankings?

tibbyss09

4/12/14 7:56pm

Yeah - I was wrong on that one.

mikecito

4/12/14 8:19pm

Easy comeback for them though is they couldn't care less about independence
