For the third year in a row, Louisville football has made the first CFP rankings of the season, coming in at No. 15 Tuesday night.
The Cardinals (7-1, 4-1 ACC) are ranked 15th and 14th in the US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 , respectively, with four games left in the regular season. After picking up the program's first road win at Virginia Tech, they're still in contention to make the ACC championship game for the second time in three years. Louisville is one of five teams with one conference loss and has the head-to-head advantage over Pitt (7-2, 5-1). Virginia is the only team without an official ACC loss with three league games left on its schedule.
Ranked in all three major polls, Louisville is set to be home for the next two weeks with games against California at 7 p.m. Saturday and Clemson at 7:30 p.m. next Friday before closing ACC play on Nov. 22 at SMU.
