2003 was really bad, but since then BYU has been seeded very close to projection

Mr. Scoobs All-American

sometimes a little lower (2007), sometimes a little higher (2014). Process is much more transparent and objective than football.

Can someone help me understand Joe Lunardi's placement of BYU...

Here is a link with the data the NCAA committee will get on their team sheets

Looks like Lunardi hasn’t updated his bracket since Friday so it doesn’t include

When has BYU ever been seeded appropriately?

BYU needs to make multiple Sweet 16 runs to get a new reputation that demands higher seeding

Nah--this isn't football--basketball has a pretty objective process.

I wouldn't read too much into them right now. Lots of stock into preseason

Lunardi has said lack of Sunday play complicates our seeding and bumps us down

Sometimes it can bump us up though. Someone did an analysis on it a year or two

I feel like this would be less of a problem with everyone in Indianapolis this

Yep. There was an article about that. They won't use geography in the equation

Much rather have a 12, 8 is the worst possible seed to make a run. But I think

Optimal seeding for a long run would be 11.
