Louisville Cardinals 7-4

Last week: Won 56-10 over Syracuse
Last rank: 9

I just don’t know what to do with the Louisville Cardinals anymore, to be honest. They are like a college football rollercoaster, and we just so happen to have them on the upward trend at the moment as we wrap up the season.

The Cardinals defeated Syracuse by a whopping 46 points over the weekend, winning 56-10 in an absolute massacre. They moved to 7-4 in the process, and they somehow hold one of the better records in the entire conference at the moment. However, they haven’t been good enough to jump up higher on this list, and it’ll take some bad losses for them to get up anymore next week.

Boston College Eagles 6-5

Last week: Won 39-16 over Connecticut
Last rank: 8

After a lackluster showdown with NC State last week, the Boston College Eagles bounced back when they took the field at Fenway Park on Saturday in their big game against Connecticut.

The Eagles dominated most of the game against the Huskies, taking home a 39-16 win with the Green Monster looming in the background and moving up a spot in this week’s rankings in the process. They’re looking strong now, but are still relying heavily on AJ Dillon to lead the offense every possession. Now, they’ll look to keep up any momentum they have to take down Syracuse to wrap up the regular season.
