Louisville players roast CFP committee over No. 5 ranking
After Clemson, Michigan, and Washington all lost this past weekend, there was no way Louisville would be left out of the top four in Tuesday`s College Football Playoff rankings, right?
Louisville has mostly run roughshod over its competition this season with the only loss coming in a thriller at Clemson, while the Wolverines and the Tigers lost to two teams that are a combined 12-10 on the season.
The committee saw things differently, however, and kept Clemson and Michigan in the top four despite their horrible losses this past weekend.
Members of the Louisville team immediately took to Twitter to voice their displeasure with the latest rankings.

The Cardinals travel to Houston on Thursday, and will certainly be a motivated bunch with a chip on their shoulders.
