Unless Utah gets really abused in Conference play they are probably in

The win over Duke is an elite win, plus Texas Tech, San Diego St, and Us. I hate them, but if they even manage a winning record in conference they are in. 3 of their first 4 conference games were on the road, so that kinda explains the bad start in conference. If they lose tonight at H to OSU they are in real trouble though.

The transformation continues: State of 2015-2016 season. On track for 26 wins and an NCAA bid. Utes won't make NCAAs.

the PAC is going to be a jumbled mess of .500 records in conference play

A 10-8 Utah probably gets in. A 9-9 Utah gets in if they win a couple in the

Agreed. But, I expect the Utes to go 7-11 in PAC 12 play.

Well, they are going to have to get it with 14 losses. And Pomeroy has them at a paltry #67 right now.

The committee has been notorious for leaving out teams on losing streaks

BYUheaven

well - obviously if they go on a massive losing streak that changes things

Utah RPI = 35. BYU = 55. If the

BYU Pomeroy = 43. Utah = 69. BYU is trending higher, Utes lower. Chances of Utes going 9-9 = slim.

Odds of Utah making it are much higher than BYU

1/15/16 12:07pm

Nope, a lot of prediction modules have them finishing conference play at 8-10

BYUheaven

If they go 8-10 then they'd probably need to advance to the CCG to make it

the odds of Utah getting to 9-9 are probably better than the odds of BYU

You'll be hard pressed to find anyone agree that BYU must go undefeated to make NCAAs. Expect 15-3 in WCC will dance.

and the "odds" actually favor us as the winner of every game from here on out

+1. Blain Fowler said on BYU SN that BYU dances with 14-4 WCC +2 in tourney. He may called him beyond ludicrous.

17-3 (which likely includes a Zags loss) means one win at most against an RPI

unctoothman

There'd be at least 2 RPI top-50 wins if we win 17 conference games

jreid191

Gonzaga and who? BYU and Zags beat SMC and they are not a top 50 team.

unctoothman

1/15/16 2:53pm

If St. Mary's goes 15-3 in conference they'll probably be top 40 in RPI.

jreid191

Perhaps in part because BYU was 35 on Pomeroy, which is carrying more weight every year.

They have to stay .500 or above and they are fine. If they slip under .500 then

Thanks. It's mostly in Pomeroy and my favorite unnamed leadership guru.

If BYU plays defense in every game the rest of the season like they did
