Despite a 43-point win in September and exact 9-3 records, Louisville found itself a spot behind the Florida State Seminoles in the most recent College Football Playoff poll. The Cards have lost 2 games in a row and have fallen from #5 to #13. The movement is significant as the highest ranked non-Playoff ACC team is awarded the Orange Bowl if the ACC Champion makes the playoff.
Also notable is that Michigan, non-winners of 2 of its last 3 has somehow remained as a Top 5 team.
