Pot 3

@NCSU? @FSU? louisville should make some noise in bowl season but they're definitely on the outside looking in of the ACC, and the playoffs by extension

Only loss is to Clemson. I would have them above ND, but their win over North Carolina means very little as UNC is 1-3. Their win over Purdue was okay, but I'm counting ND's win over Michigan State as better.

Lamar Jackson averaged 13.6 yards per pass attempt on Saturday but it did come against Kent State. The defense finally held a team without a touchdown after allowing 28+ points in each of its first three games. Can they continue to perform on that side of the ball or was this simply an anomaly?

+1: That wasn't nice what you did to Kent State there.

PLRCOAT: 5.5. In my continually zany rankings, rival Kentucky, with their ugly loss to Florida, is a spot above the Cardinals. There's not a lot to explain here; 3.5 Purdue, 1.5 North Carolina, and 0-pointer Kent State doesn't rate for a ton of points and sticks them in the extremely close blob that is #14-#17.

18 feels right for this team. Lamar Jackson is still an electric player but he lacks the team around him to be a formidable threat against top teams. They handled Kent State as they should

Gets the nod over Cal for a better win against UNC, Purdue being better than Ole Miss and not scheduling/struggling with FCS team. Still got murdered by Clemson though.

Good bounce back win after the crushing lost to Clemson.

Don't count out Lamar "Action" Jackson and his Cardinals out yet. The 3-1 Louisville team played surprisingly their most efficient game against Clemson even though they were held to 21 points. They average 7.7 yards per play and almost 5 points per trip inside the opponents 40. One thing of note: the Cardinals have a negative Adjusted TO Margin in every game this season.
