One more interesting read

A buddy of mine sent me this one.  It's an entirely statistical analysis of which teams should be in the tournament and which seeds they should get, again, based entirely on stats.  BYU is listed as a #1 seed, as of today.  Obviously, the Selection Committee only uses stats when it helps their cause, so it would be completely ignored in BYU's case.  Also of note: BYU has played 6 games against the 68 NCAA Tournament teams from the site and is 5-1, with at least two more games to come, and probably 3, with a maximum of 4.  While I believe it would take BYU running the table, including the MWC Tournament (or maybe dropping the game at SDSU and finishing 32-2, again winning the MWC Tournament), to get a 1-seed, it is nice to see BYU in the discussion.  Last year they were in the discussion at one point too, if you'll remember.  That didn't work out so well in the end...
