B-BSK: @grizzbball 49, @FirestoneCLC 40 ... @whsgrizzlies@sb3_24 collected 14 PTS, 4 REB, career-high 10 AST for his 1st career double-double / Solomon Callaghan rung up 8 PTS, 4 REB in 18 MIN ... Stan and Solomon are the most underrated starting backcourt in Northeast Ohio.
The thing that ultimately gets me is this: There have been 61 power teams to go 11-1 in the CFP era. Every other one has finished top 10 after the regular season. All but two were top 7.
What is the argument for BYU being uniquely unimpressive among that group? There isn't one.
Today’s update
EIGHTY SEVEN independent computer systems rate BYU as the SEVENTH best team in the nation on average, but one CFP committee, and their “human element,” have BYU at 11, coincidentally, just outside of the CFP field
Massey Composite ranking… link in replies
There are going to be at least three 10-2 Power 4 teams that miss the cut tonight.
But also ... 11-1 BYU?
These guys get no love despite:
-- No. 6 strength of record
-- Wins over 10-2 Utah and at 9-3 Arizona
-- The one loss to 11-1 T Tech
@jasonmcgowan@kalanifsitake My three kids are true blue BYU fans. We have travelled the country cheering on our Cougars. Their annual running joke is telling everyone that I have once again proclaimed, “this year we are winning the National Championship.” Coach Sitake has finally made them believers!
65 independent computer systems collectively say that BYU is the SEVENTH best team in the nation…
Meanwhile some argue that the Big12 is a 1-bid league & tout 7 diff SEC teams being CFP worthy
If the CFP committee keeps BYU underrated at #11 the system is broken/rigged
Record vs. current CFP Top 25 teams
BYU: 2-1
• W vs. #13 and #25
• L @ #5
• Five wins vs. 8+ win teams
• Made the CCG
Texas A&M: 1-1
• W @ #9
• L @ #16
• Two wins vs. 8+ win teams
• No CCG
Oregon: 1-1
• W vs. #17
• L vs. #2
• Three wins vs. 8+ win teams
• No CCG
8 Teams should be in the College Football Playoff regardless of what happens during Conference Championship week,
Indiana
Ohio State
Texas Tech
Oregon
Georgia
BYU
Ole Miss
Texas A&M
11-1 BYU has as many or more CFP Top 25 wins as three of the five on this graphic, made their conference championship game, have fewer losses than all of them (on the road vs. #5), and a better SOR THAN ALL OF THEM.
What are we doing here?
You will not find a more deserving candidate and representative of everything good about the game of baseball than Dale Murphy.
A decorated slugger who was one of the most productive and popular for the decade of the 1980s, it's past time for Murph to get the call to the Hall!
So honored to be on the Contemporary Baseball Era ballot! I have so much respect for the Hall of Fame all it represents. I’m grateful to be considered.
Less than two weeks from @BYUMBB going on the road @ Nebraska for an exhibition on Oct 18.
BYU also hosts UNC at the Delta Center in an exhibition on Oct 24.
Cougars won 26 games and earned a Sweet 16 berth last year - this year’s roster is likely better.
By the way, any AP voter who has either Penn State or Texas ranked this week should immediately have their vote revoked.
Combined wins: Nevada, Florida International, Villanova, San Jose State, Sam Houston State and UTEP.
Rank the teams that are worthy of it.
Texas has NOT beaten a P4 team.
Penn State has NOT beaten a P4 team.
Any AP voter who ranks either of these two teams must forfeit his or her vote to me.
