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

mostly to the extent that our conference SOS is easier than

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

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

Also true

2/24/20 8:54am

or they're also looking at other numbers

BlueK

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

We would have also beat Utah and Boise State if we had Yoeli for the whole game.

Agreed, but I thought we were discussing Q1 win opportunities.

rggee

No Sunday play always complicates seeding for BYU
