Leon taking up for UL again, while taking shots at UK. Anyone else smell something?
A&M in Top 4, LOU falls
- Thread starter Icecoldbrewdoggy
- Start date
Kentucky is a 51 yard field goal away from losing to a terrible Miss. St. team which would have put UK at 4-4. You can play the could of, would of, should of game with a lot of teams but the bottom line is the W.
I love how Louisville continue to say how bad teams are that UK has beaten.
Your entire program was built on beating creampuffs over the years.

Quite possibly, but Tennessee will be the first team we have an opportunity to beat with a winning record. Georgia could end up with a winning record, but they are .500 right now.
Well I am not a Louisville fan, you can see that in previous posts. But reality is reality. Regardless of what Louisville does, we have not beaten a team with a winning record yet.
I will certainly take the wins as it can change the atmosphere and culture, but I still call a frog a frog.
You can smell whatever you choose. Am I saying anything that is not accurate. What shots am I taking. We have yet to beat anyone. New Mexico St 2-6, South Carolina 4-4, Vandy 4-4, Miss St 3-5, Missouri 2-6.
You may want it to be something else, and that is fine. But I will give my opinion and move on.
Not sure why I would like it or not, but I disagree. Like it or not, UL's remaining schedule does not compare to many of these other teams' schedules. "Returning to form" is not the issue. SOS, losses and conference championships will be the issues.
And, if you laughed, you laughed. I did not.
OK. Clemson is the clear winner of the ACC. At no point this season has even a thought of 2 ACC teams making the playoff come up for anyone logical. It just will never happen. All this people talking crap about UL fans being sad are silly. I dont think anyone who knows the game has considered UL a contender since the Clemson loss. You have to win your conference if youre in the ACC and want to make the playoff. And unless Clemson magically loses 2 more ACC games. Which is starting to look like an impossibility. Then UL being considered for the playoff is a pipe dream. The only way 2 teams from same conference make playoff is if there's 2 one loss SEC teams or maybe the Big Ten at some point. They dont reward teams like UL for playing creampuffschedules and beating abunch of terrible teams and not even winning its terrible conference.
Guess how many teams are 5-3, and in the top 25? There's ONE........... FSU. The only reason theyre even in the top 25 is because they beat a very overrated at the time Miami team in which since the wheels have fallen off of. FSU doesn't have any impressive wins. All of their wins at the time of were impressive due to rankings, but each ranked team they've beaten. Have since fallen out the rankings. So for some reason a very undeserving FSU team with zero wins vs ranked teams is the only 3 loss top 25 team. And that's 100% due to the name on the front of the Jersey's. So UL's only win vs a ranked is against a FSU team that CLEARLY doesn't belong in the top 25. I've been saying all season long, that FSU is not a top 25 team and will fall out of the top 25 when its said and done. And with that being said. If it becomes true which to me, in reality, theyre not a top 25 team due to 5-3 with zero ranked wins. So youre telling me, UL's only ranked win, is vs a team that shouldn't be and wont be in top 25 when its all said and done? Now someone, please explain to me. How a team. With ZERO WINS VS TOP 25 TEAMS (One win vs borderline top 25 team isn't remotely close to playoff worthy either if you decide to use that argument) AND A TEAM THAT WONT WIN EVEN ITS OWN DAMN CONFERENCE LET ALONE A TOP 25 WIN IS SUPPOSED TO EVEN BE CONSIDERED FOR A FREAKING PLAYOFF?
Im sorry, But this UL team is SEVERELY overrated. And a playoff birth WILL NOT HAPPEN. People on this board and everywhere make them out to be much better than they are. They should've lost to freaking UVA (4 different times UVA shot themselves in the foot in the redzone and came out with no points), They should've lost to Duke but an absolutely garbage no fumble call was called when UL clearly fumbled the ball at a critical juncture of the game and a phantom roughing the kicker penalty call where the kicker flopped after missing a field goal and instead of Duke with the ball down 4 points with 2 minutes left in the game and great field position they gave UL the ball and a first down. This UL team, is by far the most overrated team in the country next to FSU and maybe Clemson (I have no faith in Clemson D and quite frankly i think the ACC is an awful conference). I truly think outside of the QB position. That UK is a much better team than UL (I've said this for awhile now). The QB position for them which is obviously the most important position i believe gives them the edge on being a better team. But i truly think we beat UL this year. And IMO it wouldn't be much of an upset because of how severely overrated UL is. UL, even if they win out. Will not make the playoff. You pretty much have to beat at least a couple ranked teams AND win your conference if youre in the ACC if you even want to be considered for the playoff. And neither has or will any of those things happen. It's just a crazy pipe dream.

The commitee looks at teams not conference. TEXAS has 4 good wins and a loss to BAMA. UW has maybe 2 good wins. Oregon and Stanford down this year has hurt the. If thise 2 were a glimpse of there former self then I could see the bitching. Go beat goid teams in or out of conference period.
Yeah UL goes as Lamar Jackson goes they are just a 1 man show pretty much. If he gets injured they done!
How do you explain Texas A&M over Ohio State....won Night Road games @ #8 Wisconsin, @ #14 Oklahoma and a 4 point loss to #12 Penn State...aTm hasn't 't played that kind of road schedule period
I guess Jaire Alexander no good....just up for the Jim Thorpe Award....one of the Semifinalist a True Sophomore.
Not to mention Brown, Kelsey, JHC and Fields will be getting their names called in April @ the NFL Draft
MMEEHHHH Lets see how good they are if Lamar goes down. Solid team forsure but not a title contender without him.
Ohio st lost to Penn st. A&M lost to BAMA. AAHHHHH DUH!!!! I wasnt talking about OSU i was talking about UW anyways!!!! BOTH teams,woukd have couple loses if they played an SEC west schedule period!
Tell that to Wisconsin...a B1G school that beat one of those "SEC West Schools"....and the Badgers are what the 3rd Best in the B1G.
aTm Boat raced by #1 Alabama...Ohio State loss by 4 @ #12 Penn State...and aTm doesn't have the quality wins that Ohio State has...
Clemson reminds me of the '14 Florida State team
I think Washington/Michigan/Bama would all stomp Clemson
I dont have to the comitee all ready has TARDBOY!!! CHECKMATE! RACK! BOOBYE!!!
Wins over #9 Auburn, #17 Arkansas, a UT team just outside the top 25 and their one loss to the best team in the country on the road. Let's stop pretending it's hard to understand.
Arkansas is not ranked anywhere but the difference is A&M has more wins over teams with a winning record.
True. Ark was ranked when they played and has lost to TAMU, Bama and Auburn.
Tennessee is a not good win....you might as well give Louisville credit for it 40 point win over FSU...neither is Arkansas...both are 3 loss unranked CFP, AP & Coaches Poll teams...nice try...but Auburn on the road is a good win but they are ranked behind Wisconsin...Ohio State road wins over #8 Wisconsin...#14 Oklahoma trump Home wins or in the state of Texas wins over unranked Tennessee and Arkansas. So aTm losing by 19 points to Alabama is better than beating 2 ranked teams on the road and losing to a Top 12 team by 4 points...ok...

Meet me somewhere and I will take care of his light work for him, LOL.
Name calling...mature and in the end just makes me laugh...Great retort...you still can't get around the fact Ohio State has beaten according to the committee more ranked schools than aTm....

Lamar Jackson is the best offensive threat in College Football and he has the ball in his hands every play....and we are happy to have him for one more year...
But no, when April comes around in Philadelphia for the NFL Draft it will be seen that Louisville was more than a 1 man team...but we take solace that we will be returning the best offensive player in the nation in Jackson and one of the best defensive players in the nation Alexander for 2017.
As for the remaining season...BC this week...just win and at worst it NYD Six Bowl for the Cardinals.

You don't think they consider the caliber of the loss? PSU lands 12th. Bama is the clear #1. I realize that now you have dropped your comparisons of TAMU with UL or Clemson, but why are you obsessed with OSU's ranking?
I never compared in this entire thread Louisville/Clemson with aTm...it was Washington and Ohio State...didn't have a issue with aTm over Louisville..nice try though...very first post in this thread on page one post 4...I said Louisville ranking was correct....LMBO

Read them both. Now I remember why it is so difficult discussing issues with you. Either you lie or have a problem.
BTW, Clemson would not be undefeated in the B1G or had it played TAMU's schedule. No team in the poll would be undefeated with TAMU's schedule, except for Bama. I think the committee gets that.
In the context of playing Alabama in Tusculoosa you're going to lose...but the initial premise was aTm in the original post was had no problem with aTm over Louisville...but i guess thst is too difficult for you to understand...and with the overall body of work with Washington being undefeated and with Ohio State winning two road games against Top 14 teams....
The initial post....
I can't really complain about not being in the Top 4 as a Louisville fan...but if I'm a Washington fan I am throwing things at the TV. This is Texas A&M schedule and they have 1 loss and their best OOC Opponent was a 3-5 UCLA.
9/3 UCLA W 24 - 31
9/10 vs Prairie View A&M W 0 - 67
9/17 @ Auburn W 29 - 16
9/24 vs Arkansas W 24 - 45
10/1 @ South Carolina W 24 - 13
10/8 vs Tennessee W 38 - 45
10/22 @ Alabama L 14 - 33
10/29 vs New Mexico State W 10 - 52
And Caveman...go down a little further on the same page....still laughing at you...you're the one trying to put Louisville in it not me..again, nice try in your own words....copy and pasted from page one. So the committee got it right because Texas A&M only got boat race by 19...got it.
Wasn't my point...would Texas A&M be unbeaten playing Louisville schedule. Would Texas A&M be unbeaten playing Ohio State schedule-(@ Oklahoma and @ Wisconsin)......yet they are 4th...really....
And another one on page one
Only because of Alabama. Now would Texas A&M be unbeaten with Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson or Louisville schedule...I doubt it...
__________________________________________________________
But after going over this thread I saw you used a "Preseason Schedule ranking" ranking to try to back up your argument...now that strange.....done with this thread...have a good day

If you think I am arguing for UL to be in at this point, you are simply an idiot.
The OOC means very little unless that is all they play. The entire schedule must be weighed against another. Washington has played a poor schedule. Their best win is Stanford and the highest rated win is Utah.
Washington, until they beat someone of value should not even be considered. It is like Western Michigan through my eyes.
I thought that, too, at first about Clemson. But when you actually go back and look at the 14 Florida State team, they would actually fall behind by 2 TDs or more before roaring back in the second half to win their games. That FSU team was actually a lot like what Tennessee was doing this year before their current losing streak.
Clemson is a little different. They've fallen behind Louisville and FSU by 8. Against NC State, they actually never trailed in the game, though they certainly would have on the last play of the game, if the NC State kicker doesn't miss a 33-yard field goal.
Clemson looks built for postseason play. Their defensive front has extraordinary depth and is about as big as you're going to see on the college level, and really quick. They have been playing what amounts to three DTs in a 4-3 with Christian Wilkins at a DE position and he is around 300 pounds and that defensive front sits in front of a very active group of LBs.
Their Achilles Heel has been they turn the football over. Watson is as cool under pressure and as game tested a QB as there is in college football, but he does have 10 picks on the year. I still don't quite understand why their RB Galliman hasn't been more productive on the year; he had an outstanding year last year and their O line returned virtually intact.
