    Power Rankings

    http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/powerr...n=2010&week=14

    Nothing too surprising. We're at no. 15. How BYU is above us I will never know. We are both 22-3, yet our RPI, SOS, ranking, wins vs. ranked opponents is higher. Oh and we beat them. Go figure. Ah well, all this bitching at ESPN can get tiresome thought so i'm gonna take this as a positive!

    It's a computer ranking, guys, not ESPN hating on us. It's taking margin of victory into account. It's just a number.

    I think it's worth pointing out that BYU has the worst SoS in the conference. Not sure how that 'computer ranking' is calculating this

    We're going to tear up BYU at their place. The T&M by all accounts is a tougher place to play than the Marriott. All we have to do is control Jimmer from going off for 50 points. It looks like he's cooled off a little bit from BYU's cupcake non-conference schedule.

    No, it's the ESPN analysts giving their rankings.
