Louisville did what it was supposed to do.Lamar Jackson helped throw an early-knockout punch. The Cardinals ran up the numbers against a top-10 statistical defense. Louisville put more evidence out there that it'sthe best one-lo s team in the FBS after a 52-7 victory against Boston College on Saturday.Will it matter? Louisville wont play in the ACC championship game unle s Clemson trips up twice in its next three conference games. The College Jim Abbott Jersey Football Playoff only lets four teams in. Willy Wonka let one more kid in his chocolate factory. This isnt going to be easy for the Cardinals to get that golden ticket given the path that must be taken.Here are afew things we think will happen. Regardle s of Washingtons outcome, Louisville could replace Texas A&M as a top-four team in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Huskies should be, but the Cardinals could be. That leads to the second part.MORE: If Washington Melky Cabrera Jersey loses a game, then Louisville could and should take a top-four spot for good if itwins out even if itdoesn'tget a chance to play for the ACC title. Thats how good this Louisville team is right now. If its really about best four teams and all things even among the one-lo s teams, then the Cardinals can build that case.They have everything.They have the best offensive player. Jackson the front-runner for the Heisman Trophy set the tone on the third play from scrimmage with a 69-yard touchdown run on the third play from scrimmage. Jackson had 174 pa sing yards, 116 rushing yards and four total TDs by halftime 14.5 yards per play and helped the Cardinals build a 38-0 halftime lead.Jackson finished with 231 pa sing yards, 185 rushing yards and seven total touchdowns. Jackson now has 45 total TDs this season. Its amazing.JOSEPH: When Louisvilles offense is clicking like that, its the best in the country. Jackson also spread it out with touchdown pa ses to three different receivers in the first half. The Cardinals played a neutral second half.This wasnt one of those uncomfortable shaves like Chris Beck Jersey the Cardinals had against Duke and Virginia. Louisville came in, averaging50 points per game and acted like it against a Boston College defense that entered Week 10ranked ninth in total yards allowed.If Louisville plays like this even without the berth in the ACC championship game it'sgoing to force the i sue. The fact the College Football Playoff committee chose Texas A&M in the No. 4 spot in its initial rankings over undefeated Washington was a surprise. The fact it was Texas A&M over Louisville and Ohio State was a much-bigger surprise.A suming the Big 12 is out and the Pac-12 disrespect continues, if Washington loses a game, then the two-teams from one conference door will be wide open. MORE: From there, it comes down two conferences. Would the committee take Clemson and Louisville or Michigan and Ohio State? The Yasmani Grandal Jersey Buckeyes or Wolverines will get the benefit of the doubt, and the Cardinals might want to root for an Ohio State lo s just to be sure.Yet Louisville has a few more chances against Wake Forest, Houston and Kentucky. They can make solidify a top-four spot once they get it. If a team cannot play for a conference title and still Ryan Goins Jersey get in, then this is the best bet to do it.Jackson can build on this ridiculous TD total. The Cardinals to hang three more 50-spots on the board. Its going to be hard for the committee to deny the favorite for the Heisman Trophy and a 50-point offense if theres and sort of opening.They can force the i sue with Washington and Michigan/Ohio State. They could and should get in if that happens. The best bet to do that?Keep doing what youre supposed to do.
