Boise State’s embarrassing loss proves Louisville football deserves Top 25 respect

The 2025 college football season is officially underway, and fans have already seen two upsets before August 30, when the majority of the teams start their season. The first upset of the year occurred in Week 0, when No. 22 Iowa State defeated No. 17 Kansas State 24-21 in an intense Big 12 showdown in Dublin. The other upset occurred just last night, when the No. 25-ranked team in the nation, Boise State, was humiliated on the road against USF in a 34-7 loss.

The Broncos' loss wasn't just an upset and a poor performance, but it also proved that Louisville football enters the season severely underrated and disrespected.
