Here's how much that SOS helped Iowa when they played Gonzaga.

What’s BYU’s SOS?

last night during the game they showed BYU's sos as 60.

If Alabama played 12 games vs the Sun Belt and had a #130 SOS would you be afraid that they weren't good?

Gonzaga is very very good. But when your schedule isn't even top 100

Maybe in past years. Gonzaga had the toughest OOC in the country this year.

They beat Iowa, Kansas and West Virginia and Virginia. They were scheduled

Strength of schedule in ever sport is a misnomer

BYU '80

2/28/21 3:13pm

And the P5 conferences get over-rated. Yes, their depth is better

Archaea

In basketball? sure.

Wasn't Gonzaga beating Iowa by 20+ before Iowa made the score look respectable?

So like there's this thing called the Power 5, and it's like bled over to hoops.

And let me introduce you to someone you don't know.

This is the reason why they blow it every year in March.

2/28/21 2:07pm

No kidding. Their March Madness results over the past 5 years only match the

2/28/21 2:27pm

Didn't they make it to a Final Game?

Archaea

2/28/21 2:38pm

You're right, Gonzaga's been better than the entire PAC12 in MM.

ldssdl

2/28/21 2:59pm

Right?! Their worst NCAA performance in the last 5 seasons (w/ an NCAA) is a Sweet 16.

SpiffCoug

2/28/21 2:40pm

Oh ok I misunderstood. I thought you were arguing that they were good and belonged with teams like Ohio state, Florida,

2/28/21 2:47pm

Lol at you citing Virginia, literally the only #1 seed to ever lose to a #16

ldssdl

2/28/21 2:58pm

Oh I’m sorry I thought those teams all won championships.

2/28/21 3:00pm

Your original comment was on blowing it in MM, not winning championships.

ldssdl

2/28/21 3:05pm

Virginia won a championship. Baaaad comparison.

4/5/21 8:56pm

Hmmm... let's see how the six teams you listed have done the last 5 seasons.

SpiffCoug

2/28/21 3:18pm

As far as championships go they’re not. Isn’t that what matters?

2/28/21 3:27pm

No. College basketball programs celebrate more than just championships. They hang banners from the rafters for many of

SpiffCoug

2/28/21 5:51pm

Heck, a certain program even threw a parade for losing in the championship game

ldssdl

2/28/21 6:21pm

Gonzaga chokes in MM. sorry.

2/28/21 6:27pm

Is it choking? Or is the WCC not the best measurement of a team?

run26

2/28/21 6:33pm

What a stupid standard.

SpiffCoug

2/28/21 8:06pm

I mean if you wanna be considered among the best, that’s the standard. Sorry.

2/28/21 9:01pm

Wow. So now you don’t even consider Gonzaga among the best programs in the country?

SpiffCoug

3/2/21 7:30pm

Not until they win it all. Nope

3/2/21 7:38pm

Good to know that's your standard. I'll apply it to our respective FB programs.

ldssdl

3/2/21 9:00pm

Good. If I ever start arguing that Utah belongs with Bama and Ohio State and LSU then sure bring that up.

3/2/21 9:30pm

Well, you did mention tOSU in the same sentence as Villanova and Virginia,

ldssdl

3/2/21 10:02pm

Hmmm that’s still one more than Zags. Probably before Gonzaga even had

3/3/21 6:49am

Yeah they never win. That’s my point.

2/28/21 2:40pm

And my point is that yours is ridiculous.

ldssdl

2/28/21 2:56pm

Oh I’m sorry I thought the point for teams like that who are the 1 seed was to win the tournament.

2/28/21 2:57pm

You realize there are actually 4 number 1 seeds? Three of them will lose every

ldssdl

2/28/21 3:00pm

Blow it means lost. Gonzaga has lost every single time they’ve been in March madness. Every time.
