Louisville football was stunned entirely last night in front of its home crowd as the Cardinals dropped their second game of the 2025 season. Louisville was an 18.5-point favorite entering the game, but turnovers and poor plays by the Cards' secondary allowed Cal to stick around longer than they should have, forcing overtime. Louisville would fall in overtime for the second time this season, crushing the Cardinals' fans' hope and dreams for the ACC Title and College Football Playoffs.
Louisville had the highest odds of making the CFP from the ACC entering Saturday, but after the Cardinals lost, the fans saw their odds plummet, giving them a reality check of their chances for the rest of the season.
