Louisville WR had to lose sight of where he was on the field. If not then that was WEAK! 1st down was right there for him if he didn't punk out of bounds.
It took Clemson falling behind for them to snap out of it in the 2nd half. They make things harder than necessary.
Great game, lived up to the hype(or rankings). ___________________ A lot of contenders(or thought to be) or previous top 25 programs with multiple losses. Louisville, Stanford, Wisconsin, Utah, Florida with 1 loss Ole Miss, LSU, Florida State, UCLA, Iowa, Georgia, Michigan State, Oklahoma(+State), TCU & Oregon with 2 losses Notre Dame & USC with 3 losses
The worst was that he made the "first down" motion after going out of bounds, I think he actually thought he made it. Just an embarrassing lack of awareness.
Game doesn't hurt UH in my opinion. All we need to do is beat Louisville by more than 6 to set a barometer. Louisville did their part. Oklahoma is likely to do their part too. But again, shouldn't matter, if we are undefeated it will be hard for them not put us in unless there are 4 other undefeated teams which is unlikely. We'd be pushing top 3 by the end of the season.
Agree that's how it should go, but with this committee I'm worried of them even putting a 1 loss team from a major conference above U of H.
Who really knows what the CFP committee is gonna do? They disrespected the heck outta UH all last year. I wouldn't be surprised if they busted out with some BS like ranking UH at #12 in the initial CFP rankings.
The College Football Playoff contenders- Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, Washington, Ohio State, Houston, TA&M, Tennessee, Baylor, Louisville What relatively tough games do each of these teams have throughout the rest of the season? Alabama has @Arkansas, @Tennessee, TA&M, @LSU, Auburn (rivalry), and a possible SEC title game (Tennessee again or Florida) left Clemson has @FSU, Pitt, SC (rivalry), and a possible ACC title game (UNC, Miami, or Va Tech) left Michigan has @mich St, @Iowa, Indiana, @Ohio State, and a possible Big Ten title game (Nebraska or Wisconsin) left Washington has @Oregon, @Utah, @cal, USC, ASU, @Wash St (rivalry), and a possible PAC-12 title game (could be anyone from the South but Colorado, ASU, and Utah have the edge at the moment) left Ohio State has Indiana, @Wisconsin, @penn State, Nebraska, @mich St, Michigan, and a possible Big Ten title game (Nebraska or Wisconsin) left Houston has @Navy, Louisville, and a possible AAC title game against South Florida, Temple, or UCF left TA&M has Tennessee, @Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, and a possible SEC title game against Tennessee or Florida left Tennessee has @TA&M, Alabama, and a possible SEC title game against TA&M or Alabama left Baylor has @Texas, TCU, @Oklahoma, Kansas St, Texas Tech, and @West Virginia left Louisville has @houston left and won't likely get a shot at playing in the ACC title game Any thoughts or predictions? I believe that Baylor and Tennessee will eventually fade from the discussion. I also see TA&M losing a couple of games. The winner of Mich vs Ohio State will get in. Clemson has a very good shot as does Washington. Bama has a very tough road but it's always hard to go against them. Houston will need Oklahoma to win out and they will need to beat Louisville somewhat soundly. They will also need teams like Bama and Washington to lose a couple of games. I think even just one loss might eliminate Washington since the Pac-12 is so weak this year. Louisville will need to beat an undefeated Houston somewhat comfortably along with having teams like Bama and Washington lose as well. It would also help them to have Clemson dominate the rest of the year because then they can point to a very close game at Clemson as a major point in their favor.
I agree. Louisville lost a very close game on the road at a top-5 team...after coming back to take the lead. If UL wins out up to the game against UH, they'll still likely be a top 10 team. This doesn't hurt nearly as bad as it might seem. Still, everything else depends on the committee and the teams ahead of them.
