BroncoBotwow, that's huge. No Drop.
Well played BYU.
Nice that UNM is at #15, it'll look great when we beat them in provo.
Anyone know what in the world Dwight the taxi driver is talking about when he refers to "getting the crap beat out of him in provo"? wondered if TNT just pulled that out of nowhere, or if Provo is considered a rough place.??? or are they just making fun of BYU (what else is in provo)?

Dcr36#12 in both. I'll take it.

gmj81How in the world Ohio State is ranked #13 with 6 losses is beyond me. And yet, it is probably what is keeping us at #12. Pollsters knew they couldn't put a two loss team behind a six loss one, especially when BYU is ahead of OSU in most RPI and computer rating systems.
I like the nice jump by New Mexico. Though again, I wonder how much is due to the pollsters actually watching or being impressed by New Mexico or whether it was because nearly every other team in front of them had at least one loss during the week.
Regardless,it's nice to see the MWC getting some 'rank love' and I thought UNLV should have been deserving of at least a few votes too.

EM_PumaNow that's the kind of respect we've been wanting around here. To lose a game on the road to a Top 25 team and not slide. Some of that was help by others losing around us, but I have to nod my head up and down on that fact.
I never thought NM would get that kind of bounce beating BYU at home by only four points, but bully for them!

EM_PumaAnd in ESPN Bracketology we stayed a #3 seed. We lost our upward arrow, but we're still a #3 seed.

clemdiggitydog1Honestly don't mean to be a wet blanket,but on the other hand we've got Gonzaga 1 spot below us at #13 after loosing to the mighty Dons by 20+ points,a team we took behind the shed by 26,and then in both polls we are behind four 3 loss teams,and three 4 loss teams.Fact is, that we are never gonna get the respect that we deserve until we make a tourney run,regardless of how gaudy our regular season record is.It's kind of a glass half- empty or glass half- full deal,because the perception can be what you make it.

I'm an engineer, the container is neither half-full nor half-empty, the container is just too big. :P

Gonzaga didn't lose by 20+ points. They lost by 4, in overtime. And the fact is, our 2 spot drop is proof that we already are getting respect despite our lack of a deep tourney run. Clearly you have the half-empty perception. That's gotta suck to go through life with.

kjjsonIs BYU losing to New Mexico last week a good thing? First of all, I think the loss came at a good time to get us refocused for the rest of league play. Second, if you are going to lose a game, I don't think there is a game that hurts you less than losing a close game at the Pit. Hopefully, New Mexico will continue to win and move up the rankings (as with BYU) that when we play again at the end of February, both teams could be ranked really high, thus giving us a win against a top team.

Rain drops keep falling on my head, keep falling on my head...
Come on dude! Let's see some positive comments out of ya! Lately they seem kinda... Blah :skeptic:

mizzoucoug+1 Kjjson. Losing to NM gets them high in the polls the rest of the season. They'll stay top 15 along with us til the end. UNLV will be top 20 before it's all said and done as well. It hurt when it happened, but from what I saw, we are definitely a better team than UNM...they just played really well that night.

stuckinbig10countryBYU is getting a ton of respect from the pollsters, but they've earned it. UNM has now defeated 4 ranked teams at home this year, so they are a good team, especially in the pit.
I like the 3 seed in bracketology. The more one thing I didn't like about this week was that Lunardi moved them out of the SLC bracket. If BYU gets the same respect from the selection committee with a 3 seed (we'll see), and they get put in the SLC bracket, they may go to the elite 8, and maybe even the final 4.
There are only a couple teams that have been to the tournament more times than BYU and not made the final 4. (For awhile BYU was the leader of this pack, but then they didn't make the tourney for a number of years while, I want to say Missouri, had.)

I still think the seeding should be AUTOMATIC based on RPI, to take the committee bias out of it. But that's just my reason and logic speaking.

scott715Yes I would like to know afterwards what the committiee was smoking, eh I mean what rpi report they were looking at.
