Perhaps but doesn’t help that USC also lost
We maybe down to one ranked team
Helps if they keep winning. Shows how much Louisville sold out to get ready for us.

Depends on how well they do in the end
The biggest thing is that we beat both of them when they were ranked.
Where they end up does have some weight in the final CFP polls, but it's not nearly as much as the W/L in the first place. If things are close among the teams in playoff contention, then small number of difference in point totals could come to bite us in the end, due to "strength of schedule" factors.
On a less important note, Drew Pyne didn't get any playing time in the above game, despite the blowout score.
He's actually putting up some notable numbers against the bottom o' the barrel teams, having gone 16-17 for this year for 117 yards.
I'd say the A&M win, especially if they beat LSU and only other loss is to TX..
they'd be 7-1 in SEC.
We ruined Louisville’s season whereas we beat a good ranked A&M team at home
So yes it helps more than the Louisville loss.
I was really counting on Purdue & NIU to win out to help our cause.
