We owned TAMU just 6 games ago. But no benefit of the doubt - so lame. Don't get mad, get even.

AP Poll shafts Cards
- Thread starter tkdcoach
- Start date
This is what I expected to occur. Could be short lived with TXAM playing Bama next.
The good news on that list is that Houston and FSU are both just outside the top 10. Both could easily slide back into the top 10 due to losses by other teams. That could help U of L.
Very true! OSU plays Wisc next and MI has to play OSU at the end of the season so there is room for us to bump up as long as we take care of business.
No worries....handle business Friday will move up next week...
We moved up a spot to number 7 in the Coaches Poll, however.

Doesn't the selection committee use the coaches poll and a football ranking similar to the RPI? I think the AP Poll is not a playoff factor.
If I remember correctly, the committee does not use the Coaches poll. They go strictly by their own poll which comes out weekly beginning November 1st.
Yes...the 11 Person Committee does their own poll which comes out in 2 Weeks.
Should have beaten Clemson and then you wouldn't have to worry about it. They did it to themselves. I don't want to hear about the mean polls that are out to get us. Finish a 4th quarter drive against Clemson for a change. They've blown all three of their last minute drives against them. Punch the damn thing in and win than you don't have to play conspiracy theory with the polls.
The polls are about this year, not last year.
If you look deeper into the number of points in the poll, it's pretty clear that the poll voters were divided 50.2 to 49.8 percent about whether to move undefeated TAMU ahead of us. TAMU has 1202 poll votes to UofL's 1193 - an extremely close vote with 61 poll voters.
I still see that as showing us a great deal of respect. We are still the highest rated one loss team in both polls.

He has a point. Finish the drive against Clemson and the polls are in our favor instead of against us. We should have won that game and everyone knows it. We turned them over 5 times. No good excuse for not winning the game. We just didn't get it done when it was right there for the taking. Hopefully the kids are pissed off about it and take it out on the rest of the opponents all season long.Yeah, we suck.
I agree. Louisville football has gotten plenty of love from the media.
AP Poll means nothing anymore. Only the poll that will be released in a few weeks matters.
No, we shafted ourselves by not taking care of business at Clemson.
"Just win baby", the rest will take care of itself! Excuse and whining is for losers! When the going gets tough, the tough get going! Go Cards!
They will drop win they lose their next game - at Alabama
They, they, they??
No "we"?
Does this mean you're off the train?
You gotta love the bandwagon fans""! They are all aboard and hollering, we when we are winning! But look how fast they can become critics with just one close loss to a Top 3 ranked team!
The Playoff has existed for 2 years, and both years 3 of the 4 teams had 1 loss. We are still in the running for everything.
We are. The ONLY thing the Cards can control is destroying the next opponent on the schedule one game at a time. If we can destroy all the teams left on the schedule, then I like our chances to finish in the top 4.
One game at a time and hang 50+ on every single team. It wouldn't hurt to score 60+ or even 70+ AND shut out the opponent. Lamar Jackson needs to stay hot (and healthy), and the defense needs to do their part too.
Exactly! Control what we can control and let the chips fall where they may.
Our BIG problem will come from the BIG and SEC...I don't see Alabama, aTm, Michigan or tOSU losing more than one game...In the end, they could get a second team in the playoffs!!!
And, what if Clemson goes 12-0 and loses to a 11-1 Miami or Virginia Tech...If that happens, The Cards are NOT getting a spot in the Playoffs, or the Orange Bowl...Clemson would get the Orange Bowl...We may still get a NY6 Bowl Selection...Catton Bowl...Not Bad...BUT...Oh So CLOSE!!!

We are only about halfway through the season, and teams have to go out on the road in-conference. Some teams are going to get exposed, and there are going to be surprises.
I think there is zero chance we will get to the end of the season where the scenario is Alabama, Clemson, Washington and winner of OSU-Michigan.
It may look like that today but this sport is crazy. Half or more of those teams could wash out, next week. You just never know. Just ask Houston.
It's one of the things I love about college football, the unpredictability.
We just need to make sure we're not one of the surprised teams, and I think things will work out for us. I really do.

I was calling out the head-to-head versus Texas A&M specifically.
Not lamenting "mean polls."
