70stang	13	Louisville tops Tier 4, which are teams with multiple P5 wins, no ranked wins, and one loss. Louisville has beaten 5 P5 teams and 1 FCS team, as well as a P5 loss away to be 6-1. They take the top spot in this tier due to having one more P5 win than anybody else.

JetoGrov	13	On one hand, the Notre Dame win looks better. On the other, how can a team that lost to Pitt be ranked this high? Probably the ranking I feel the worst about this week. But L'Ville has to be ranked above Duke (cause ND)...and I DO think that Duke should be this high.

FlashSpider-man	21	Awful, awful loss. They threw away any momentum from the ND win. On one hand, great win there. On the other hand, losing by multiple possessions to this year's Pitt team and only beating this year's IU by one score is not good. They are still a one loss team, but I don't think they deserve top 20.

_TGT7	23	-8, Unranking Louisville would be harsh, but if someone did after a convincing loss to a absolutely god-awful Pitt team, I wouldn’t blame them, only rationale I can think of is that they overlooked Pitt, and were looking at how to beat Duke in 2 weeks. Will be interesting to see how they regroup during the Duke game.
