Louisville football fans are punching the air right now and have a lot to complain about after the first official preseason AP Poll was released. The Cardinals were left out of the first rankings and entered the season with 90 receiving votes, which appears to have them ranked No. 29 entering the 2025 college football season.
However, once fans get over the fact that their Cards aren't ranked, something even bigger arises, and it has Louisville fans excited and counting down the days until kickoff again. The Cardinals will face two top-ten teams late in the season and three top-25 teams.
