On the BYU coaching staff, there are more alums from BYU (6) than any other school.

On the Utah coaching staff, there are more alums from BYU (5) than any other school.

The Big 12 is 9-1 with 24 teams left in this tournament heading into Sunday and, the shocker of it all, it's the blue blood Kansas Jayhawks that are responsible for the only loss.

USC is the most overrated team and BYU is the most underrated team in AP poll history.

Since the AP poll began preseason rankings in 1950, USC has had 17 more preseason than final rankings. Notre Dame and Ohio State were tied for second with 14 each.

Conversely, BYU started in the AP poll 12 times but finished ranked 20 times, netting 8 more final than preseason rankings. Baylor and Boston College tied for second, with 7 each (8 vs 15 and 4 vs 11 respectively). Do AP voters have an odd subconscious bias against religious schools starting with "B"?

See the attached tables for a detailed look at the most over- and under-rated teams across 5 periods: the last 75, 50, 25, 10, and 5 years.

I've included teams in the top or bottom 5 for any period or top/bottom 10 for two periods. For context, Michigan, Alabama, Clemson, LSU, and Miami are also included despite not meeting these criteria.

Analysis shows USC, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Wisconsin as significantly overrated. However, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Texas, Washington, and UCLA have recently met expectations.

BYU is notably under-hyped, leading as the most underrated team in 4 of the 5 periods considered.

BYU got robbed of a playoff spot. Not Alabama

@RussoHockey He’s actually quite hilarious

[Dennis Dodd @dennisdoddcbs]

We already live in a world where the likes of SMU and Boise could be getting first-round CFP byes (by winning their conference) while Alabama and Georgia could be playing in the first round. For entertainment's sake, the possibility of Arizona State even mattering has been captivating.

When every team in the old Pac-12 had two losses, it was a disgrace. When every team but one in the Big 12 has at least two losses, it's a Jackson Pollock acid trip. Ah, but when 14 of the 16 teams in the SEC all have at least two losses it's "competitive."

Rant over. Now back to the season.

@BarstoolBig12 I wonder what Max Hall would call this guy?

Dear @Big12Conference friends: I know you are shocked by what giant babies they are, and yes, this is always how they are.
