Mr. Scoobs All-American

to selection and seeding than the predicitive metrics like Kenpom, BPI or Sagarin. I'd much rather have a top 25 SOR or KPI than a top 25 ranking in a meaningless opinion poll.

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.

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

Mr. Scoobs

1/18/21 11:10am

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

BYU '80

1/18/21 11:50am

Both teams have been ranked before and left out

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

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?

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

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

Clearly due to USU's coach being more photogenic
