The committee is supposed to judge BYU based on how they played without Davies, not how they played with him. They shouldn't be a 3.

I think I figured this out. Look at the non-conference SOS. Some of the snubs (eg Colorado, Alabama, Va Tech) had a horrible non-conference SOS. They may have been thinking "well we're in a power conference, so we can start with easy teams, no problem", but this year if you did not go out and play someone in November and December, this committee savagely punished you. (exceptions: Saint Mary's and BC had good non-con SOS, so it is not a perfect rule)
VCU and UAB did not have terrific non-con SOS's, but they were much better than some of the high-profile teams who didn't get in. Not saying I agree with this principle if this was what they had in mind, but this is the only rational explanation I can think of.

disagree, they always (and should) judge you by how you played after you lose a player, and BYU played like steaming dog crap, except when Jimmer willed them to a win. They still got credit for their season, but if BYU is a 2 seed, someone #1 (Pitt) gets an unacceptably easy bracket. I would have knocked BYU down to a 4.

Assuming that Mizzou makes it past Cincy (they won't), it will be interesting to see how far Kemba Walker can stick his snake up our asses.

The non-conference thing may be the reasoning. I think that brings Harvard into play too. You could make a case for them.

Dicky V is conveniently forgetting CU's losses to San Fransisco Iowa State, and Harvard.

Non Conference Schedule aside, Colorado got Buffaloed.
That's ridiculous. VCU and UAB would lose by 15 to CU.

This will be like the 2002 tourney when I cheered for you guys. Sure nobody on this team has as nice as hair like Kareem Rush and Ricky Paulding but you have better talent this time around.
