Even subconscious bias. We all do the same thing. It’s human nature and not good or bad necessarily. And it will keep BYU out of the dance.

I think people overestimate the anti-BYU bias out there.

Then what do you mean by "and it will keep BYU out of the dance"?

Bias. Specifically human bias. Eye test. Non-measurables. Gut feelings.

there is no historical precedent of a BYU team that didn't get in but deserved

SMC game is huge for WCC seeding and last real chance at a Q1/Q2 win.

Still have GU at home and the conference tournament

I doubt we'll beat GU at home. We should get one more in the WCC tourney, true.

Agreed. As soon as they lost last Saturday, the SMC game became nearly must win

We can lose to the Zags and SMC and still go to the tournament. No other losses.

Yeah, but we would be stressing on Selection Sunday. Not where we want to be.
