BYU's metrics should put them more in line with a 5 or 6 seed. I wonder what CBS sports uses to predict their seeds cause all the items they show right next to the name on the team bracket index make it seem as thought they are out of place at the 8.

Rankings never correlate with seeding. It’s been that way for a long time.

Q1 wins is the biggest gap. 3 Q1 wins and only one win vs a tourney team.

They also have a 47 net rating and a combined 8-7 record against q1/q2.

Welcome to the WCC. I remember when Zags were ranked 6th, and got a 6 seed.

I remember when Utah State was in the top 25 and didn't make the tournament.

Only have 3 Q1 wins and 1 win over a tourney team.

Well... a single person at CBS ranks us 22nd and a different person seeds us 8th. It doesn't have to be consistent.
