Brilliant insight from Sam Acho (speaking of the difference between the AP Poll,
and the CFP rankings):
"I think the one thing that they also need to know is that you're looking at the teams 1-4 and saying 'ok these might be the teams that end up having those bye weeks', but look at the Big XII and BYU right now is undefeated, but Kansas State is in that conversation, so is Iowa State. So, though some of those teams may not be in these initial rankings, if they find a way to win their conference championship, they would be in and those other teams would either be out or lower ranked."

I like Sam Acho, typically. He seems pretty neutral to positive towards BYU. He seems to have a good personality for an analyst on these shows. But, when do you find yourself watching back what you had said and thinking "I added literally nothing to that conversation." Yes, if someone wins the Big XII, they would find themselves in the playoffs and the teams that didn't win would be at large or left out. That doesn't really need pointing out. Just a pet peeve I have with where sports commentary is these days. Like Smoltz the other day when the Yankees were up by 1 "If Ohtani scores here, it is a tie game." Really John? Is it? Runs don't count for 2?
