Yes, but the electoral college does not have to follow the popular vote.....
Correct.
Bingo, we have a winner.
There is absolutely no directive in the US Constitution where it is written that the electors of any given state must cast their elector-ballots based on the popular vote results of their state. But the tradition, a good one, I might add, has been so strong since it started in part of the country in 1824, that I doubt that any state would ever try to go against it.
