If the Buckeyes lose to Oklahoma, every team moves up a spot with Stanford #5.

I'll take 'Inconsequential drivel' for $200 Alex.As a general rule of thumb, inertia rules the polls. Since everyone in the current top 10 other than FSU looks to win today, I doubt UofL will move up too many spots. FSU will drop out of the top 15 so that automatically moves UL up to #9. But, I think some leap frogging will occur so I would guess #7 or so.
Personally, I would vote Ohio State #1 as they are a more complete team right now. I'd vote UL ahead of Alabama because our defense is fine, but the offense is horrible right now.
But, none of it matters. The playoff committee doesn't vote until mid to late October. That's when it matters. At this point - which much football to be played - I think the SEC champ, Big Ten champ, winner of UL vs. Houston and one other makes the playoff. Tenuous prediction given how much football is left. But that is how I see it as of this moment.
It would be a travesty if the Cards are only #7. A 43 point win over the 2nd ranked team along with the Heisman front runner has to be rewarded, even for a non traditional team. Both Wisconsin and Texas went from unranked to top 10 after their big wins, so I don't see why Louisville would be any different. Michigan and Clemson haven't played anybody and should be passed by the Cards. I do know what you mean though and there's that possibility you will be correct. It would be typical when it comes to Louisville football.
At the least, the Cards should be #5. There hasn't been a more impressive win so far this season and Lamar Jackson looks like the best college football player. If that only moves them three spots, there will be more than Cards fans raising fits.
Dukes would agree.I'll take 'Inconsequential drivel' for $200 Alex.
That's because Dukes is homegrown - lol.Dukes would agree.
And I really don't know why you care that I care. The season will play out regardless of who cares. Let me have my fun. Geez!!!I really don't see why you care. I have been watching this for 20 or so years. The top 4 on September 18th is never the same as on the first Sunday in December. Let it play out.

Well, I already know about everything you said. I never said it was over, the Cards are top 4 so they're in the playoff. I was just wondering what the blow out of FSU would show in the polls. That's all. I think they should be rewarded and they were. I don't see why you felt the need to educate me or give advice. I think it was clear that the thread I started was to start a conversation about what is happening this week.Not so much about caring that you care. Just a little friendly advice is all. Polls now are not always very informative.
In 2013 at this point in the season, the AP top 5 was Alabama, Oregon, Clemson, Ohio State and Stanford. Eventual BCS champ, Florida State, was #8 and BCS runner up, Auburn, was unranked.
In 2014 the AP top 5 at this point was Florida State, Oregon, Alabama, Oklahoma, Auburn. The first three did make the playoff, but eventual national champ Ohio State was ranked #23.
Last year at this point, the AP top 5 was Ohio State, Michigan State, Ole Miss, TCU, Baylor. Only Michigan State would make the playoffs. Meanwhile, Oklahoma was #15, eventual national champ Alabama was #12 and eventual runner up Clemson was #11
Enjoy it now. Both UL and Alabama are ranked highly right now. But, it is only right now. First Sunday in December is the only one that matters in reality. The rest of it is just noise.
