What did he rank us?

15

15th. He hasn't been willing to raise BYU's ranking much at all this year.

He's the worst

It's important to remember this when we're in a down year. True colors.

Voting us 3 spots below our ranking isn’t a big deal.

Normally there's a slight bump from a local: 10 instead of 15. Plus Utah at 25.
I'm Dynamite
10/18/20 1:02pm
You get that it should always be higher right?
CougarCanuck76

No, I don’t. Please explain.
DieHarder
10/18/20 1:07pm
Ideally no bias ever would be great. But other teams are getting their bias bump

For example: Utah

Yup, its rare to deal with that from your local voter. Remember who Furlong is.
I'm Dynamite
10/18/20 1:12pm
But why should it happen? I understand that it does
DieHarder
10/18/20 1:22pm
None of it should happen. But when it happens elsewhere, let it be here too.
I'm Dynamite
10/18/20 1:28pm
It shouldn’t happen, and 3 spots below our actual ranking is not a big deal.

Most local affiliates will rank their hometown team higher than average, and

I understand that it often happens. I don’t understand why it SHOULD happen, and why I should get worked up about it

Last week he didn’t even rank us. He did rank Utah last week.

Yeah, that was much worse last week. Very silly.

To go from unranked to 15 in one week in his poll—hmmm. He realized he would be

Still holding out though. Local guy should give you a homer bump. He's 5 spots

This is despicable....

This is a big deal. There is some bias from every voter. A KSL employee SHOULD

I worked at KSL for a year. Lots of Church hate. Lots of BYU hate.

Too bad the Church allows this. The Ute crowd in KSL management should be

Boycott time. No need to put up with crap treatment. We need local alternatives.

If I was adept at tweeting, I’d create a poll that asked:

Is this really a concern though?

If it were even unbias across local sports, you'd have a point. Utah at 25...

I guarantee you other teams are getting favorable votes from their hometown guys
HRCougar

This is the constant battle for BYU. No other school in the country has to deal with this crap. It’s tiring
YIsForBrigham

It’s absolutely ridiculous.

I think Criddle does right by us.

Umm.. He does a BYU specific show.
LiveCoug
10/18/20 3:20pm
Sure. But traveling around the country listening to sports radio, you’d stumble
4thand19
10/18/20 3:25pm
Yeah, the regular sports talk shows in SLC love to hype Utah for anything and

That's part of the reason why BYU gets treated poorly in its own market

I’m certain Duke does not get better treatment in its home market.

For basketball? They get plenty of national adulation to more than compensate

He's not a self proclaimed Utah fan. He's not even a journalist.

Too bad he's an AP poll voter. Ignore this Furlong clown.

He should lose his voting privelige.

15 is a pretty fair ranking
North Cat Coug
10/18/20 2:46pm
3 spots below average from a local voter is not fair. Not at all....
Rocketman
10/18/20 2:50pm
So he’s supposed to rank us higher than average simply bc of location?
North Cat Coug
10/18/20 2:54pm
Yes absolutely
YIsForBrigham
10/18/20 2:56pm
Makes sense
North Cat Coug
10/18/20 3:00pm
Ranking Utah at 25 makes sense too, I guess...
I'm Dynamite

Never said I agreed with that.
North Cat Coug

But surely seeing that helps you see the bigger picture.

10/18/20 3:16pm
Opposite position by 3 spots...
North Cat Coug
10/18/20 3:24pm
No, 3 spots to average. Local teams should be above average.

This is much ado about nothing. "Local bump"...lol dude owes BYU nothing.

What does he owe to the Utes though?

This is silly. 15 is lower than I think it should be, but is not totally
