Dalvin Cook is a great back but Florida State is a average team. They are a missed XP away from possibly being 4-4 on the season.

Kentucky can run pretty much on anyone not named Alabama

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'm looking at what going on at Georgia....it took a miracle for them to win @ Missouri and they already loss to Vandy. Tennessee is a dumpster fire right now. Take the wins ....
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.

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.
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.

Leon taking up for UL again, while taking shots at UK. Anyone else smell something?
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.

Like it or not, if Louisville returns to the way they were playing at the beginning of the year, they will leap over TAMU and OSU, and perhaps Washington. If they throw clunkers like they did at Duke and Virginia, they have no chance.
Strange how when the season started we laughed at the thought of Louisville even being in the conversation for the playoffs and now we are trying to find reasons to say why they should not be considered.

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.

A&M has a couple more chances to lose and OSU could lose to Michigan (could create a big dilemma for committee if OSU beats Michigan) but Washington and Clemson aren't losing. Alabama has tough games left, but they're Alabama. Louisville is a long, long shot to make it at this point. I think it ends up being 1: Alabama, 2: Clemson, 3: Washington, 4: OSU after OSU beats Michigan and wins the Big 10.

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

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.

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.

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...

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?

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....

Auburn is better than FSU. Bama better than Clemson. I think UL's schedule is not as strong as A&M's.

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....

There isn't one team in the nation that would be undefeated against that schedule.

Only because of Alabama. Now would Texas A&M be unbeaten with Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson or Louisville schedule...I doubt it...

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.

Clemson reminds me of the '14 Florida State team

I think Washington/Michigan/Bama would all stomp Clemson

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.

Utah was their best win, hands down. Standford? No way.
