I see we are The only ranked team they play the rest of the year. So no way to get back in the rankings and mix for CFP . Perils of playing a patsy schedule.
Louisville season over

I somewhat disagree. If they win all these cupcakes the record will allow those voters that exhibit bias with that now familiar refrain, “they beat those on the schedule. What more could they do?”.
They are so over-rated and were talking so much smack before the season . Its a pitiful conference outside of Miami.
They are right where they belong. I hope we roll them this year.
If they win the ACC they are in
If they win out and beat an undefeated Miami in the ACC title game they can still get in.
But that’s the only possible way.
They will lose 2 of 3 between Pitt, Florida St and Kentucky. Especially if their qb is out a few weeks.
I'll worry about them at the end of November
This was their shot. Weak schedule, decent team. Now they're 30 million in debt and hoping for the Belk Bowl.
Their future will be spent staring at a glass ceiling.
Their future will be spent staring at a glass ceiling.
The selection committee will use a strength of conference metric for the first time this year in deciding at large bids so they’re screwed unless the outright win the conference. Hate it for them, I’ll lose sleep over it.
Lost the last 5 out 7 against P4 schools. Not playoff caliber. All of college football should be happy Wake knocked ‘em off. Ranked 15 with a relatively light schedule, they had real playoff hopes.
Before the game a UL fan I work with was talking about how easy their schedule was and that they could get to the playoffs, after they lost he said he was done with football and is now waiting on basketball, lol
This. It’s possible but that’s the only path.
One more loss and that whole team gives up on the season and I bet their qb goes down with a mysterious injury so he can sit out.
Kind of like Ryan Day a few years ago, some Card radio hosts were questioning whether Brohm should be calling the plays. That he cannot give attention to key issues on the field because he has to focus on dialing up the next play.
Keinholz = LaMar Jackson 2.0. Lincoln IS Louisville's success. UL is not a ranked team without that QB.
I do not see that happening sans a fully healthy Lincoln Keinholz. Kid really is that good. And their defense really is that bad.
Keinholz is injured. Like losing LaMar Jackson. Maybe he only misses a week, but we will see.
If he doesn't call plays, then baby Brohm is exposed and has to earn his paycheck.
Might be holding out.
UL has a cakewalk to the playoffs every season but still can never stop tripping over themselves. Its hilarious.
Not necessarily. Duke won the ACC last year but didn't make the playoffs. Miami did and they didn't even make the ACC championship game.
Vandy didn’t get in last year at 10-2 with their only two losses to #10 bama and #20 Texas and they had four wins against top 20 teams. The NCAA announced last week that they will use a strength of conference metric in at large bids and there are only six of those available. The ACC has three teams in the top 25, the selection committee will choose a 9-3 SEC team over a 10-2 ACC team based on strength of schedule. The only way possible for them to get in is to win the conference, not say they can’t do that as they’re pretty good with Kienholz (sp) but they have to win out and beat Miami though Pitt can’t be ruled out.
What's hilarious is they say everything to make it look like they adequately credit the SEC for being so insanely tough, then cave to media pressure when its time to make the selections.
That's why there is always a garbage sos team or two in there over 9+ win sec teams.
I don’t disagree with your logic and argument. If schedule is indeed taken into account You are absolutely correct. I just don’t trust the people who put it together. Furthermore I don’t trust the ACC to have Miami, if they are undefeated going into champio nship game throw it in order to get a second team in playoffs
They aren’t winning out now and they certainly won’t beat Miami. Even if they did do that I could see them getting snubbed depending on the teams left and their loss totals. Their SOS is going to be very mediocre at best. Probably pretty terrible compared to the rest of the playoff field.
I should have properly finished my thought. 2-3 losses against bad/mediocre schools. Losing to OM is understandable, but losing to schools like Wake Forest, is very telling, especially when it happens at home.
Looks like they get NCST today, I'm predicting a loss and some lockerroom issues to start.
