RE: Virginia is ranked well ahead of BYU in the latest rankings

Just looked at the bracket in full.

Two thoughts:

1. BYU vs Virginia as a potential second-round game is cruel (but very exciting).

2. North Carolina somehow lucked out into the most favorable quadrant.

Only losses were to #3, 8 and 11.

Cool to see UVU in there as well.

Both VA and Penn State should have likely been seeded before BYU.

Look at the RPI rankings. BYU ahead of both of them. PSU is the highest B10

Your explanation makes sense.

argus

They said they didn't use RPI on the selection show today

But did they say they completely ignored it? Sometimes it's how you say it 🙂

Virginia is a great team. They could of swapped Virginia and BYUs seeding and

The preliminary game may actually be an advantage in this situation....huge

Isn't BYU's first-round match-up against Virginia--ranked No. 5 in the country?

This is a very weird tournament.

Virginia's last two games were a loss and a draw to West Virginia.

Virginia played in the toughest conference but

RPI is how they normally seed teams. It's an unusual year for sure. They've

Did Stanford not make it?

Archaea

No. And they were not expected to make it.

rocker

Didn't they win it all last year? Of course, they had the player of the year.

Archaea

4/19/21 1:26pm

Yes. Really unusual, especially given its Stanford.

Virginia is a powerhouse and the game is played in NC. Practically a home game

As good a program as Virginia is...they are 10-4-2 this year. BYU should expect

True. But VA's 4 losses were against teams ranked No. 1, 2, 5, and 6.
