It's OK buddy... we'll just wager a bragging rights bet. $1,000... man, you're incensed over the thought that they won't get in if they win tonight and then lose in the WCC final aren't you? There are a lot of other NCAA tourney experts out there who don't think BYU is in unless they win the WCC tournament, mainly because there are too many other schools that would be on the bubble if they fell early in their conference tourneys who are more deserving. Of course, a loss tonight and it's all over.
The WCC commish is on the selection team and BYU played the #2 toughest non-con schedule in the country with most of those big games away from the MC.
BYU played 7 non-conference games that mattered and won 2 of them... the NCAA selection committee won't exactly consider that impressive.
The RPI is the committee go to and the one they use on CBSsports.com (CBS being the tourney channel)... They could care less about sagarin...
Sagarin has the most reality-based system for determining rankings.
Also Joe Lunardi has been darn near perfect the last few years and is dialed in and says BYU is in.
Mark Durrant said this morning on 1280 the Zone he thinks the Cougs have to win the WCC tournament to get in. If Cougs win tonight, we'll find out on Sunday if they lose to the Zags tomorrow.
