Stone cold sober pandemonium . . .
Curiously, no beer bongs anywhere . . . Perhaps this mob of BYU freshmen have gotten drunk from the cup of victory?
All I know is, "I don't even know what to do with my hands . . . "

Saurian Sagacity: The Official Blog for Inquisitive Florida Gators Fans: Why Not BYU?
With previously 3rd ranked Oklahoma out of the way, BYU has games remaining against 3 currently ranked teams, including Florida State, TCU and Utah.
Of the remaining ranked teams the Cougars face TCU and Utah are every bit as impressive as the "big name" in FSU. TCU is coming off an 11-2 season. Utah was of course undefeated last year, handling an impressive Alabama team in the Sugar Bowl.
Also consider the teams on our top-ranked Gators schedule. As of right now only 3 are ranked, including the same Florida State (and LSU, and now 1 loss Georgia).
Similarly second ranked Texas faces 3 currently ranked opponents, which include Oklahoma State, Kansas and the same Sooner team that just lost to BYU.
There are still a myriad of scenarios that have to play out, and I'm not saying an undefeated BYU team necessarily deserves a shot over two unbeaten BCS conference teams. But with Boise's undefeated season in '06, and Utah's last year, the time for thinking about the top non-BCS teams as lesser talent is long past.
They have served notice, and continue to do so. Any blatant BCS exclusion at this point serves only to further devalue the entire system.

One & Done
Press stop on your ghettoblasters and take those leg warmers off – the Cougz have been bounced from the big dance.
Maybe they can get in on this one . . . ?
I'll see if DJ Numba Crunch can pull himself up off the floor to put together a post for us all that attempts to explain why the Cougz can't win a tournament game. For now, this is the only explanation I got:

And to all you Utah State True Aggies out there, we feel your pain. Come on over to the refreshment table where all us losers not cool enough to still have a dance card hang out, commiserate, and work on our fruit punch mustaches as we watch all the other guys still bustin' their moves in the big dance.
Cheer up, though, it's not all bad being out – maybe Cubs fans will let us join their Society of Fatalist Sports Masochists. Par-tay!!!

Bracket Conundrum

I love having my team in the tournament, but it really messes with the process of filling out my bracket. Do I go with my head or my heart? Can I use pencil and eraser? Can I fill out a pair of brackets, one emotional and the other logical? Can I choose now and then change my mind later? Analysis paralysis . . .
Balance baby!
From Greg Wrubell:
"Lee Cummard's 528 points, Jonathan Tavernari's 503 points, and Jimmer Fredette's 501 points collectively represent the first time in BYU Basketball history that BYU has had three players top 500 points in the same season."
