[QUOTE="roadkill, post: 959993, member: 1555"] Since our last two post-game threads have drifted into future opponent territory, I thought it might be useful to focus the discussion with my takes on our remaining games, two games in. As an aside, Louisville appears to be a pretty strong team. They crushed their FCS opponent week 2 as they should, and with their schedule, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are ranked soon.
