Louisville Jumps to #3 in New AP Poll

[TheDeuce]

Sorry I've had to play devils advocate today, but just trying to make sure we don't crown UofL the greatest team ever and Lamar Jackson the greatest player ever 3 weeks into the season. Long way to go.

 

Nobody has crowned Louisville anything. They got a big win they haven't been able to get the past two seasons, no more no less.

 

Lamar Jackson IS the best player in College Football three weeks into the 2016 season. There really is no debating that. Doesn't mean that's where he will finish, but that's where we stand as of now. Lot of season left.

Two days later and I'm still not completely sure what I watched. I don't know if UofL is that freaking good, FSU is that god awful, or just a perfect storm.

There's a lot of all of those happening. I'm inclined to perfect storm. I think Louisville is better than FSU but I don't think they're definitely 43 points better.

I'm not buying what Bama is selling at the moment and in my eyes UL and Ohio State have the two most impressive wins this season so far. I have both of them over Bama right now. Plenty of season left though. I'm simply in the camp that a team can lose its #1 spot even if they keep winning.

Is it National Championship or bust for UL yet?

Absolutely not. Win at Clemson and I think it's probably playoff or bust, but given what I've seen out of Ohio State and Alabama, not to mention their reputations, "national championship or bust" is not a sentiment I'm prepared for.

JA here to stir the pot. :lol2:

 

This can't be a serious question.

 

We'll be happy to win the Atlantic. Ecstatic to win the ACC. Anything beyond that is unreasonable at this point.

You have the Heisman front runner and just destroyed FSU. Winning the ACC is sand bagging, National title might be a tad far. I'd say playoff or bust.

I love this thread…. One person carefully cautions UofL fans not to crown UofL of anything… followed quickly by another who challenges UofL fans not to sandbag….

 

lol

Winning the ACC isn't sand bagging at all.

 

If they beat Clemson, I'll give you playoff or bust.

We literally can't win. :lol2:

Maybe I'm too high on UL I think it's the best UL team we've seen in recent memory. They have the Mike Vick put Vtech on the map feel to them.

Has there ever been a better UL team? This one certainly seems to have the potential to be the best Card team ever, right?

[TheDeuce]

If they beat Clemson, I'll be more open to the idea of really giving them high praise.

 

I'm cautiously optimistic.

They may be the best UL team ever, but that doesn't mean they're the best team this year. At least, that's where I am. If we beat Clemson, I'm closer to thinking like you. If we beat both Clemson and Houston and do so convincingly, I'm buying a seat on the UL Hype Train
