Who’s in and who’s out? Tonight’s reveal of the college football playoff rankings should serve as a less contentious appetizer to your election night viewing. And with the sport expanding the field to twelve teams for the first time in history, the eager anticipation is coupled with some confusion about how this whole thing is going to work.   Today, Heather Dinich, who’s been using her weekly column to play-act as a committee-of-one all season, is here to answer all your questions. How can a school like BYU get a higher seeding than blue bloods Ohio State, Penn State, Texas, and Alabama? How might Boise State edge out teams ranked higher than them? Are Coach Prime and Colorado really still alive? Heather explains it all and examines why the new format could make for the most exciting post-season we’ve ever seen.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
