On Tuesday, ESPN's Bill Connelly released the second iteration of the 2024 SP+ rankings. BYU was in the bottom half of the Big 12 at no. 67 nationally. Below are the updated rankings for the new Big 12 conference, which will include Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Colorado.Oklahoma State Iowa State Texas Tech BYU Arizona State
SP+ rankings are driven by three primary metrics: returning production, recent recruiting, and recent history. Last year, BYU finished the season ranked 76th overall. BYU was slightly better on offense than they were on defense . In this year's projections, SP+ projects BYU to take a step forward on both sides of the ball. SP+ projects BYU's offense to improve to 63rd nationally and BYU's defense to improve to 84th nationally.
Last year, BYU experienced the most roster turnover in program history. That won't be the case going into 2024. BYU returns more production in 2024 than they did in 2023 and they return most starters on both sides of the ball. It's up to BYU's coaching staff to develop the returning talent they have.
If BYU basketball has taught us anything this season, it's that roster continuity can be a greater competitive advantage than ever before. In an era where rosters are turning over more than ever, a team that retains their talent can have an advantage over their peers. That will be the key to BYU outperforming their SP+ ranking and getting back to a bowl game in 2024.Casey Lundquist is the publisher and lead editor of Cougs Daily.
