We take a look at where the Louisville Football team will land in the new AP Poll that will be released after the weekend.

This was one of the craziest weekends that we have seen all season. It started with the Louisville Football team almost losing to Virginia and ended with a great game between the Florida State Seminoles and the Clemson Tigers. Not to mention, there were four teams that lost inside of the top ten on Saturday.

Louisville was able to survive against the Cavaliers, but it was pretty darn close. If it wasn’t for Lamar Jackson and Jaire Alexander, we may have been all crying right now. However, that didn’t happen and we can now move on with our lives.

Here is how each top ten team fared during week nine:

  1. Alabama: Bye Week
  2. Michigan: Beat Michigan State
  3. Clemson: Beat Florida State
  4. Washington: Beat Utah
  5. Louisville: Beat Virginia
  6. Ohio State: Beat Northwestern
  7. Nebraska: Lost to Wisconsin
  8. Baylor: Lost to Texas
  9. Texas A&M: Beat New Mexico State
  10. West Virginia: Lost to Oklahoma State

Nebraska lost a heartbreaking game to Wisconsin on Saturday night in overtime. As normal, there was a pass-interference penalty that was not called on third down in overtime, that would end up being the nail in the coffin for the Huskers.

I don’t expect a close loss on the road to hurt them very much in the polls.

However, Nebraska, Baylor, and West Virginia losing on Saturday could prove to be huge for the Louisville Football team in the College Football Playoff race this season.
