Lots of big trees falling in the forest

Post by gmj81 »

At least 17 teams in front of BYU (#38) have lost already this week, not including Saturday's games. While there is no chance that BYU jumps any of those losers who were ranked #18 or higher, I'd say there's a chance they could pass up some from #19 down depending on the loss. All of BYU's wins have been by double digit margins even if the SOS isn't that great (but at this point, who's is?) and they have a Sagarin rating of #20 (prior to the Weber win). Plus, the polls haven't yet accounted for the Southern win who we destroyed by a larger margin than Baylor, Oklahoma State and Puketah (who just beat ranked Illinois).

Here's hoping the Cougs jump some of the following:

#19 Clemson
#20 Illinois
#21 Maryland (2 L's in the last week)
#22 Minnesota
#23 Notre Dame
#24 Vanderbilt
#25 Oklahoma (2 L's in the last week)
#27 Florida State
#29 California
#30 Mississippi
#31 Xavier
#37 Dayton

Also lost this week:
#2 Michigan State
#9 Tennessee
#12 Butler
#13 Connecticut
#15 Michigan

A garbage team, with a hotheaded coach, that had one decent game vs a team that had a poor outing.

I'm going to say that we make the top 25 in one poll this Monday. Tell me I'm wrong! :evil:


I'm just a regular, everyday normal guy,
I can't afford a car, I use public transportation,
I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

They're the same this year as they always are. Enough talent that they SHOULD win more than they do (like, say, enough to beat a ranked Illinois), but headcases/lazy enough to lose even to D-II schools. Don't worry though, like all of their sports, they'll pour all of their hatred and emotion and energy into beating BYU.

Latest rankings. The Rebs took our spot! And we're still a lot farther out than I thought we'd be.
