Remembering how the Committee Whores screwed BYU over in 2009-2010


Shots Heard just made the case that the NCAA needs to use the RPI to determine tournament rankings. This will significantly reduce the undue influence of the media whores and even eliminate the selection committee whores.

Shots Heard pointed out that the whores plans on screwing over BYU. By the RPI, BYU has (currently) earned a one seed. But the media whores (currently) plan on only giving them a four seed. One might wonder why Shots Heard is ever vigilante about this subject (we are wondering it ourselves).

At any rate, we saw BYU get screwed over by the whores all of last season (2009-2010) and we just decided that enough is enough. We are going to write about the systematic injustice.

Last season, BYU was a top 15 quality team (if not better) that was not ranked for most of the season. They were still unranked when Jimmer's Cougars handed Arizona their asses (see videos). Consequently, the Arizona coach and the Wildcat players talked about how BYU was a three or four seed quality team (not the seven seed that BYU would end up receiving).

The Arizona coach even said that the idea that BYU was not ranked, discredited rankings! Shots Heard has been saying that!

Only near, the end of the season, did they crack the Top 25. BYU was even ranked in the Top 15 by the end of the regular season.

Top 15 - It would go to figure that BYU would get a four seed, right?

Wrong.

BYU was given a seven seed, which meant they had to play a Top Ten team in Round Two (Kansas State a two seed). In principle, no Top 15 team should have to face another Top 16 team, let alone a Top Ten team before the Sweet Sixteen. 

But this is how the committee whores routinely screw over 'mid majors' and it's BS and Shots Heard is taking a stand this year.
