Louisville and Rutgers

Who would have thought this would have been a matchup of unbeaten teams? If you haven't guessed, I'm hopping on the Louisville bandwagon here.

When Fresno State started out with an impressive run by beating Colorado and Oregon early on, I was one of those saying if they win out, they deserve a shot at the title. At the time, Colorado was still a pretty strong team, and I felt they deserved credit for playing some tough teams early on. I also give credit to Louisville for scheduling teams from 3 major conferences, teams that, when they were scheduled, looked like a pretty good out of conference schedule. Like Fresno State back then, I feel like they did as well as they could in scheduling, considering their conference situation, and now give them their due.

Something everyone is forgetting is, like it or not, Louisville IS from a BCS conference. Maybe the Big East isn't the same as when Va. Tech and Miami et al were part of the conference, but they also haven't looked all that shabby.

Personally, I think this is beautiful. Florida and Texas fans will howl that there should be a playoff. The beauty of college football right now is, the whole season is a playoff. It's playing out in a rather interesting manner this year.
