BYU moves up six spots!

I didn't expect that. Perhaps more respect for this team? Our RPI continues to shine....Congrats Cougs!

Not respect per se, but yes we are garnering respect. We didn't lose this week. In college bball, not-losing is the way you move up. We jumped three teams that lost and dropped out of the polls and we jumped three teams that also lost. We didn't get jumped by any team that won behind us. If you don't lose, you move up. The more losses in front of you the more you move up.

You got that right and is the reason we should put a lot of stock in the polls-- ;)



I looked at several of the teams we have played this season and while we have no wins over anyone in the top 25, most of our opponents have been very respectable and therefore why we have a high RPI.

Greg W says "BYU has now been ranked in the AP Top 25 for 19 consecutive weeks, standing alone as the second-longest streak in BYU hoops history. "

awesome.



Just gotta keep winning... an away win against UNLV would be huge.



It's weird for me to be cheering for UCLA and Arizona, but nevertheless... I've been cheering for them to win now.

Should move up at least a couple more spots this week with Minnesota having lost and either Georgetown or Notre Dame ready to drop.
