BYU had a 16 point lead and then got loosey-goosey with defense and rebounding late

how much does margin of victory play into these stats?

For NET? That's not entirely clear, but it is a thing.

Maybe not as much but Colorado blowing out USC was going to jump BYU regardless.

makes sense I suppose, but creates some obvious negative disincentives

It is what is. If you want a credible rating system you have to use margin of victory.

It's why a number of predictive rating systems put a cap on MOV since at some

Kenpom does not give credit for RUTS.Here he is putting a Utah fan in his place.

He does—it just has diminishing returns—94 would be similar to 30

Mr. Scoobs

2/26/21 11:57am

Yep. So long as we have obvious growth to be had — these games are welcome.

I didn't think they were loosey goosey, I just think USF started making some

Drop has more to do with teams like SDSU/Colorado jumping BYU w/better wins.

Mr. Scoobs

2/26/21 10:15am

Yup. Win out and that's another Q1 win potentially. Other teams will continue to pass BYU given their late season

I believe st marys(net 66)will be Q2 both times. One home one neutral

gmoney7

2/26/21 10:20am

Probably. Esp if BYU beats them the 1st time at home.

unctoothman

2/26/21 10:21am

Still 2 Q2 wins would be nice

gmoney7

2/26/21 10:22am

Hopefully SMC can stay top 75. Having that 3rd Q1 win is very important.

Mr. Scoobs

2/26/21 10:45am

I assume Pepperdine will take the 3 seed if we beat SMC?
