Rankings BYU comes in at 17

Someone explain to me why BYU comes in @ #17 in both the coaches and AP and has a 6 seed? Even if BYU was ranked #20=5 seed. We beat ISU twice, and on their floor. ISU 3 seed.

Don’t tell me that our weak preseason schedule hurt us.
Look at #1 Duke’s SOS Net rating 56 gets a 1 seed
Clemson " 68 5 seed
St John’s " 61 2 seed
TTU 51 3 seed
BYU " 6 seed
all worse and they aren’t penalized.

on Ken Pom Net SOS
BYU 346, 6 seed
Maryland 359, 4 seed
Florida 302, 1 seed

Now look at VCU, come in ranked #29, should be a 8-9 seed. So they are underrated as well.

Sure looks to me that the committee toed the line on the Net Ranking when they wanted to ding a team or conference and looked the other way when it came to their team or conference.
Sick of this crap, BYU should of been a 4 seed.

Yeah, both BYU and VCU are under ranked and there is no reason they should be playing each other. It’s how the committee does things. It’s how the ncaa does things. Nothing changes and I stand by my comments about people who have no standards or moral compass to live by. They just do what they want, lie, steal and cheat. They don’t care.

We all know what $$$$$$ does to people! Greed is one of the 7 deadly sins of this world.

What are the other 6?

pride, lust, sloth, envy, wrath, and gluttony.

sometimes for such things wikepedia is the way to go:

though to say it is catholic is a bit of a western bent, it is much older than the Catholic Orthodox split let alone the Catholic Protestant split.
Essentially all of Christendom could recite some version of them for well over a a millenia up to and including today…just don’t ask most protestants, unless they tend to be high church, vanishingly small these days,
And of course don’t ask Mormons whose popular theology, or doctrine if you prefer, is most often thought of in the American church as a response to the Protestant teachings that caused Joseph to go to the grove, and still has a large part of our missionaries responding to in their everyday proselyting activities.
And if Mr. Grasshopper had any real interest in the topic, instead of popping off on the board like this he simply would have looked them up.

Hilarious response! :rofl:

and spot on I might add.
