6. Louisville Cardinals (8-1)

Lamar Jackson and the Louisville football team did exactly what they needed to do against Boston College on Saturday. Jackson had seven total touchdowns and the defense looked very stout against former Kentucky Wildcat, Patrick Towles.

The Cardinals slipped to number seven in the country in the first College Football Playoff poll after being the fifth ranked team for a couple weeks in a row. Louisville is going to need a ton of help to make it into the top four teams by the end of the season, but it looks as though some chaos is already beginning.

Texas A&M losing to Mississippi State was huge in terms of knocking another team out of the playoff picture. Louisville has the best chance of winning-out because of their weaker end of season schedule, but they can’t control what Houston does on a weekly basis.

Look for the Cards to keep rising in the polls as these other teams still have tough games left.

Next: Number Five
