Currentlyin the Lunardi has BYU OUT, if they lose to USF. I'd imagine they will be on that bubble the rest of the season.



He also has them ranked #47.

BYU should be out if they lose to USF. Failure to beat highly ranked teams, mostly I need the road, has not hurt BYU.



Losing to Portland hurt the most. Losing to LMU hurt 2nd most. Losing to Pepperdine hurt next most. Losing to U hurt next most.



BYU cannot lose to another team in regular conference play or in the tournament not named Zags or Gaels and get in unless they beat both of those teams but suffer 1 loss on the road.



There will be several teams dancing that would lose to ISU in a close game at home and to UMASS, Wichita State, Oregon, and Gonzaga on the road.

Summary of BYU basketball to this point



Record 16-9

RPI 45 (fairly mediocre)

Rank 49 (according to ESPN)



remaining schedule:

SF

@PAC

@SMC

GONZ

Port

@SD



To make the tournament I think BYU is going to have to win all remaining games except the Gonzaga game. If BYU goes into selection sunday tied up with SMC for 2nd place it will really hurt their chances. Beating the zags at home would be nice, but a win at SMC is huge. As is today's game with SF @provo.



In summary if BYU goes 5-1 in the remaining 6 games and that loss is to the zags, I think they've done just enough to maybe make the field of 68.

There are 351 Basketball teams. RPI 45 is hardly mediocre.

I think you have to factor in the WCC tournament as well. I think it will take your 5-1 scenario and at least an appearance in the WCC championship game as well. The WCC has the potential to be a 1 bid league if Zags win WCC tournament.
