College Football AP Poll Week 13: How far did Louisville?

Chaos reigned supreme on Saturday with massive College Football programs falling hard with upsets shifting things all over the Top 25.

We’re nearing the end of the college football regular season, with Championship Weekend just around the corner. But as the weeks peel off the calendar, so too it seems do playoff contenders. Michigan and Ohio Stat were able to survive losses this season, with the Buckeyes narrowly escaping a season-ending loss to Michigan State.

Some believe that the Buckeyes should take a fall in the AP Poll as a result of that near-death experience with the Spartans, but there were other upsets that might keep them where they’re at. Most notably, the Louisville Cardinals fell off the face of the earth last week, getting pounded by Houston. It’s a loss that not only officially ends their playoff hopes but might too end Lamar Jackson’s seemingly easy run to a Heisman.
