I'm sure this is a dumb question re: BYU and Utah.

Best cbb team all time. 1998 was the Utes greatest moment in history. A defeat at the NC level.. to the Cats, mf.
 
Sadly, uggs, ur hate of Kentucky and how you cope is oddly familiar to someone else we know... :(

Wow, that is a favorable schedule. I do believe 3 of those that were counted were other teams playing in the Utah classic or whatever that is, but still 12 of 13 is pretty laid out.

Four game tournaments are not uncommon with one of those teams hosting. Let's see who the vaunted University of Utah drew for the Global Sports Showcase

Grand Canyon--newly minted D-I program...as of 3 months ago.
Lamar- 3-28 last year
Savannnah State-19-15 out of MEAC

Savannah is a decent program and had RPI of 168 last year.

Let's look at last year's RPI for DI teams they're playing this year. 347 is the lowest rank.

UC Davis-235
Grand Canyon-not D-I
Lamar-335
Savannah State-168
Ball State-233
Boise State-50
Fresno State-146
Idaho State-336
BYU-58
Texas State-274

2 in the bottom 12.

5 in the bottom half.


Utah State was 109.
Weber State was 78.


Only 5 of 12 PAC-12 schools finished ahead of Weber in the RPI, 6 for Utah State. So half the games Utah played in conference would have dropped their SOS compared to Weber State. And Utah doesn't want to play its in state rivals on the road why?

Comparing WCC and PAC-12, the best team was WCC...

Third was WCC...

Pepperdine, Portland and Loyola-Marymount brings the WCC down. Not as much as the Big Sky bottom feeders do, though.

Utah is equivalent to San Francisco and San Diego, tied for 5th.

Washington plays at Tulane this year. RPI 173
WSU plays at Idaho. RPI 197
Colorado plays at Jackson State. RPI 306
ASU plays at Depaul. RPI 204.

Playing on the road against non big 6 conferences is common in the PAC-12.
 
Duck is ****ed up. I aint even a utah fan (maybe would be if ugli wasn't such a dick face) but dude is straight embarrassing himself, his mom, and whatever school (???? lol) he pulls for.

I see.

What does it benefit Utah though? Why do we want to be playing road games in a tough environment at Utah St when it won't give us a huge bump in SOS?

It's better to lose on the road to an RPI top 100 then winning at home against an RPI sub 300. Precedent is set that a 20-12 team with better SOS is getting in the NCAA over 24-8 team with a terrible SOS. Committee is looking at road games a lot more and ignoring home wins.

This is true.

However, EVERY team schedules a mix of cupcakes, mids, and quality.

What incentive does a rival have to schedule a flaundering team as a mid when it could be another team that doesn't compete for fans/recruits or w/e?
