What is it that's making BYU's seed projection consistently lower than their ranking?

Resume vs Ranking. Our rankings are great, our resume isn't as good.

I wish they’d come out with a new standard ranking that dictated seed

It's in large part being in the WCC

Other conferences have tons of Q1 opportunities it seems

correct. However, historically the committee is known to reward teams from

because ranking isn't what determines seeding

I understand that. So where's the dichotomy in the two?

Because humans aren’t good with numbers. They don’t really trust the numbers

2/24/20 8:51am

They're also failing to adequately apply the Yoeli Adjustment to those numbers

Also true

or they're also looking at other numbers

BlueK

They have a relatively low number of Q1 wins compared to teams ranked around

And why we should all be hoping SMC wins out except against us

No Sunday play always complicates seeding for BYU
