CHESTNUT Hill, Mass. -- Louisville?used the No. 7 ranking it received from the College Football Playoff committee earlier this week as extra motivation Saturday against Boston College and piled up the points in a 52-7 win as a way to make a statement.?Coach Bobby Petrino isnt happy with the idea that his team must blow out its final three opponents to make a better impression on the committee.I guess we do, Petrino said. Its sad because theres something called sportsmanship, but maybe I made a mistake. Maybe looking back at it, in Florida State [a 63-20 win Sept. 17], we should have kept all the starters in and scored 80 points and did that. But I dont understand why its like that. I really dont. And then you look at Clemson and the schedule they beat, the guys in the top 10 that they beat, and what Alabama has done, why isnt Clemson rated No. 1 [in the CFP]?Committee member Kirby Hocutt, in an interview with College Football Live on ESPN Radio, didnt agree with Petrinos reasoning.As weve said as a selection committee before, we do not incent margin of victory. We look at performance on the field, but we do not incent the margin of victory. We do not talk about that in our committee room, Hocutt said. Louisville is a very strong team, very impressive win against Florida State earlier this season. They continue to win. Their schedule, as we talked about it last week, was just not as strong as others that they were being compared against up to this point of time in the season.Obviously, they had a very good win today against Boston College, and Im sure our committee will look forward to getting back together and having some great conversation and doing a deeper dive into all these teams yet again this week, with another game of the regular season in front of us.Texas A&M lost to Mississippi State on Saturday, so Louisville will move up at least one spot when the next CFP rankings are unveiled Tuesday. The committee had said the Cardinals were put behind one-loss Texas A&M and one-loss Ohio State in the initial rankings because they had a weaker schedule and needed a last-minute touchdown to beat Virginia (2-6) the previous week.Now Petrino wants to know why strength of schedule is being held against his team but not helping the Tigers, who are ranked No. 2 behind Alabama. Louisvilles only loss this season came in the final minute against Clemson 42-36.When asked whether there are six teams better than his, Petrino said, I dont think so, but heck, what do I know? I know we played well today, and I really like our football team. I think they come to work and practice with a great attitude, and we really are a team. We rely on each other, and we take care of each other, so thats something that is fun for me as a coach is to just see how good a team we are and how much these guys love each other.

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal.

Tuesdays surgery at Atlantas Piedmont Hospital was performed by Dr. Xavier Duralde and Hawks team physician Dr. Michael Bernot. IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Kirk Ferentz has mentioned more than once in his 18 seasons as Iowas coach that his program doesnt have much margin for error.Last weeks stunning loss to North Dakota State showed that it wasnt just coach speak.The Hawkeyes (2-1) went unbeaten in the regular season in 2015 largely because they always seemed to do the little things well. A team like Iowa, which prides itself on taking undervalued recruits and turning them into smart, focused and disciplined starters, cant afford to be sloppy and hope to win.Never was that more apparent than against the Bison.Iowa lost two starting offensive linemen to injuries and suddenly couldnt run the ball.Penalties, dropped passes and errant throws allowed the five-time defending FCS champions to hang around. A crucial late sack -on a blitz that quarterback C.J. Beathard said his line shouldve picked up -- helped the Bison get the ball back with just enough time to steal a victory.It wasnt like we came out and we werent focused or we werent ready to go. Because I think we were, Iowa defensive end Parker Hesse said. Just momentary lapses in our attention to detail...got to us.Iowa will likely soon get some help in that regard, as both guard Sean Welsh and center James Daniels -- two of its best linemen -- are expected back for Saturdays game at Rutgers (2-1).But the Hawkeyes believe it wont matter much unless they get back to the focus that made them so tough to beat a year ago.We need to rally around each other and get what we had last year going, offensive lineman Ike Boettger said.To be fair, a lot of Power Five teams might have suffered a similar fate against the Bison, which has a host of FBS-level players whhove come to expect to win against any team.ddddddddddddIowa has some really good players, too.But many of them simply didnt play well last weekend.Quarterback C.J. Beathard was uncharacteristically off, missing more than a few open receivers. Drops hurt Beathard as well, including one in the open field by Akrum Wadley -- whose long TD reception on Sept. 10 helped fuel a rout of Iowa State.George Kittle, who has developed a reputation as one of the nations top blocking tight ends, was called for a hold on the first play of the second half. The penalty negated a 62-yard run that left Iowa just three yards from a touchdown that wouldve put it ahead 21-7.Beathard said Iowas offense committed 17 of what the coaching staff calls mental mistakes last week after combining for just 10 in the first two games.The bottom line is, we didnt play clean football, Ferentz said. The most glaring thing in my mind was just not dealing well with the makeable (plays)...which to me are plays that should be able to execute without having a superstar-type player.The Hawkeyes can forget about the playoffs for now. The Big Ten West remains as open as ever though, and Iowa remains among the favorites.That will change if the Hawkeyes keep playing like they did a week ago.Everything was correctable on the field. Its just whether or not you want to...be more ready for the game. Some people just have to put more time into it maybe, and watch more film and be able to understand what the offense is running, linebacker Josey Jewell said.---Online: www.collegefootball.ap.org .
