September 18, 201610 yr Louisville jumps all the way to #3 in this weeks AP poll behind Alabama and Ohio State who move up to number 2. The SEC still had 8 teams Big 10 had 5 and the ACC with 4. Congrats to the Cardinals!
September 18, 201610 yr About what was expected. I'm hoping the Cards keep it up. Would love to see them make the playoffs. Got to get past Clemson and I think they can.
September 18, 201610 yr I think the top 10 is actually pretty decent for once. I think the top 3 could be placed in any order right now and have distanced themselves from the field. As for UofL though, I think it would be great if they kept this up, but I think Clemson gets it figured out sooner rather than later. Deshaun Watson is too good. If I had to bet my house on an ACC team right now I would still go with Clemson, but its almost a pick 'em.
September 18, 201610 yr College football is a LONG season. Lots of weird things happen and one loss can absolutely wreck a team.
September 18, 201610 yr #3 in the country makes my stomach hurt. :lol2: The challenge now will be keeping the focus and intensity they had yesterday for EVERY opponent. They do that and stay healthy, I like our chances.

They do that and stay healthy, I like our chances. That is the million dollar question. A few trap games on UofL's schedule, they just need to keep that chip on their shoulder that they clearly played with yesterday. That team plays hard EVERY single play.

That team plays hard EVERY single play. I'd be shocked if Louisville was unprepared for any remaining game on the schedule. That's not me saying they won't lose, they could drop any of a few games left. But I feel like Petrino will have them prepared. If they lose, it will be because they weren't the better team on that particular night. A lot of people have had this Marshall game circled as a trap game since the schedule came out. Here's my opinion on that... You can't claim to be a top team in the country and lose to Marshall, period. Marshall is a tough place to play and has had success over Louisville in the most recent contests, but the Cards need to go to Huntington and take care of business Saturday night.
September 18, 201610 yr As you should. And I didn't mean that as a poke at Louisville. The Cardinals won me over Saturday. Most impressive. I hope they make the final four.
