BYU plays 4 ranked teams and at least 2 others receiving votes. If they go undefeated against that schedule (incredibly unlikely) they'll be in the playoff.

Eh. Preseason rankings is just one way to hype games ( marketing ) for early season games. It is what is. NBD..

Except this poll doesn’t matter, the CFB playoff poll is what you’re talking

Not a huge deal. The AP isn’t the CFP, and the only one that matters is the CFP.

Actually, I do understand. You're not wrong about the influence the early polls

Teams can also make rapid rises early in the season as well. Don't be surprised if BYU can put three wins together in

Sure but easy to see a loss in there. Once out, tough to get in if didn’t start in.
