Another week has passed in the college football season, more chaos has occurred, and now we have another CFP poll. Who benefited from the chaos and who was disrespected? Let’s take a look:

Remaining Schedules:

Alabama: Chattanooga, Auburn

Ohio St.: @ Michigan St., Michigan

Michigan: Indiana, @ Ohio St.

Clemson: @ Wake Forest, South Carolina

Louisville: @ Houston, Kentucky

Washington: Arizona St., @ Washington St.

Wisconsin: @ Purdue, Minnesota

 

Initial Thoughts:

Michigan being #3 is 100% pure garbage. They lost to IOWA. Not a top 5 powerhouse team. Nope, the #39 team as rated by S&P+. Did I mention they have had 8 home games? Regardless, Louisville is in the same position whether they are #3, #4, or #5. Ohio St. or Michigan will be knocked out putting Louisville in a position to take the #4 spot if they finish strong. I don’t buy into the hype of  a 2 loss B1G champion stealing that final spot, even though quite a few think that is a lock. 2 losses, fairly week schedule, not that impressive of a team= not playoff worthy. I also think Washington will lose 1 more game before it’s all said and done, thus eliminating them from a playoff spot.

Moral of the story? Louisville needs to win out, do so convincingly, and given the likelihood of additional chaos and overall resume, I think Louisville can and will still get in.
