The weekend wrap-up shows the following people saying the following things about the BYU Cougars:

*******

BYU is the only MWC team receiving votes in this week's Top 25 polls. BYU is 26th in the Coaches' survey, and 27th in the AP.

*******

Joe Lunardi (ESPN.com's "Bracketology") has BYU as a 7 seed this week (facing #10 Ohio State in Anaheim). UNLV is a 10 seed (facing #7 St. Mary's in Anaheim). Notable about this is not only BYU becoming a favored seed this week, but also UNLV going from an 11 to a 10 despite struggling against Air Force and losing by 26 to BYU. At the very least, it's a sign of respect for the Cougars.

*******

Still on ESPN.com, the "Weekly Watch" lists BYU as the #1 "Team to Watch" outside the polls. A 2-0 week this week will put the Cougars firmly in the polls by next Monday.

*******

Trivia: if BYU beats Utah this Wednesday, the Cougars will record back-to-back regular season sweeps of Utah for the first time since 1979 and 1980. Wow.
