Memphis (5-1) at Navy (4-1)

When: October 22nd, 2016

Time: 3:30pm

TV: CBSSN

Houston’s loss to Navy is not looking too bad after all. While the game between the Cards and Cougars won’t be a top five match-up, the game surely will be a meeting of two, top ten teams.

What makes that game even better is that Navy is playing extremely well right now. Currently, they are ranked as the 24th team in the nation. Louisville needs Navy to keep winning so that the loss by Houston won’t look too horrible.

Houston barely squeaked out a win against Tulsa last Saturday and they will have another tough game against Memphis this Saturday. If Houston loses, then we can forget about a top ten game between Louisville and Houston.

Next: Ohio State

The Cougars might have a hard time closing this game out, but Louisville needs them to find a way.
