Fine by me. AP poll completely meaningless for selection or seeding.

Mr. Scoobs All-American

BYU hasn't been playing pretty basketball but it has been effective. If the tournament started today, BYU would be in better position than Utah State and several of the teams on that list.

But another reminder why college basketball is better because the polls don’t

Probably feels almost obligated to vote a couple MWC teams in the rankings.

BYU was getting votes up until 2 weeks ago.

Yep, a few years ago SMC was top 25 and left out of the dance

That was usu I believe

BYU '80

1/18/21 11:50am

Both teams have been ranked before and left out

Mr. Scoobs

Watching USU v SDSU, I felt like USU

I watched those games too. I think we’d win again.

Matt Mitchell didn’t play in that game and it was at usu

BYU '80

1/18/21 11:50am

He played in the first one.

The single vote is from a MW homer who covers New Mexico basketball

Thank goodness that the polls don’t matter in basketball. Another reminder how

Why should BYU be getting votes?

Net ranking perhaps

BYU '80

Is BYU top 25 in any of the relevant computer metrics?

1/18/21 12:19pm

22 in Strength of Record (SOR). Resume-based metrics have a higher correlation

Mr. Scoobs

1/18/21 12:52pm

#23 in ESPN's SOR rankings. Which is a ranking on the 'Team Sheet' that is used

the nino

1/18/21 1:38pm

#25 in KPI. another 'Team Sheet' ranking

Thanks for the link, I've had trouble finding one

Bracketologists has all of the relevant Team Sheet rankings as well.

It's okay. The votes will come after a few more games.

lightmann

Clearly due to USU's coach being more photogenic

BigBlue04

1 vote.
