Oregon State (2-4) at Washington (6-0)

When: October 22nd, 2016

Time: 6:30pm

TV: PAC12

Let’s be clear about one thing for the rest of the season: if Washington wins out, the Cardinals aren’t going to the college football playoff.

That means that the SEC Champion, ACC Champion, Big-10 Champion, and either the Pac-12 or Big-12 Champion would make it in. The Big-12 looks pretty bad other than Baylor and the Pac-12 has Washington dominating. Therefore, Louisville needs Washington to lose to somebody this season.

Oregon State doesn’t pose a huge threat to knocking them off, but Cards’ fans need to be rooting against them all season long. They will however have a tough match-up, on the road, against 19th ranked Utah. Hopefully the Utes can pull off the upset and help Louisville’s case to make the playoff.

Next: NC State
