Human polls are about wins and losses, computer polls are about margin of victory

Especially based on our defensive metrics

Yes, that's a big part of it. I'm not complaining about our ranking or our 10-2 season. I'm very happy with both.

Humans do consider MOV, just less. When we beat UCLA 59-0 that would have moved

The point of the game is to win though. Our defensive scheme slows the game

With the same defensive scheme in 2020, our computer rankings were fantastic

Same scheme but in 2020, it was more successful. I doubt many on

Yes our defensive metrics drag us down in any computer poll.

10-2. That is really what matters.

Winning every game by 1 point is SUBSTANTIALLY better than losing every game by 1 point.

Should have lost to Boise. Boise got jobbed.

Last year BYU held 11 of 12 opponents below their season scoring offense averages. This year it was 8 of 12.
