College Football Week 6 Power Rankings

The Louisville Cardinals find themselves one spot ahead of last week’s power rankings. The Cardinals had a whole week to think about their 42-36 loss at Clemson with their bye coming last weekend.

It is without question that this Louisville team is still in the hunt for the College Football Playoff. With the explosive playmaking ability of their quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Cardinals will be in every game they play for the rest of the season.

With their schedule remaining the Cardinals are more than capable to finish the season 11-1, but will that be enough? Louisville’ strength of schedule took a hit on Saturday after Houston’s 46-40 mishap at Navy.

The Cardinals were banking on Houston to continue their undefeated season until they go to Houston in Week 12, but the Cougars didn’t live up to their side of the bargain.

With Houston no longer being a factor, it will be hard for Louisville to find its way into the College Football Playoff. With that being said, the Cougars are still a very solid football team, and will produce problems for Louisville.

However, unless Clemson has a slip up, I find it hard for Louisville to make some noise.  With their remaining schedule it won’t be easy for the Cardinals to prove their worth to the voters.

But with Lamar Jackson you never know what could happen. The season is still a long way from over, and anything can take place.
