If they had taken care of business the last 4 minutes, they wouldn't have dropped.

It's making more sense why Pope wasn't happy about playing these games...

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?
