The narrative that has coursed through Louisville football ever since Jimbo Fisher cut the cameras (and Johnny Cage screamed "Where do you get these guys!?") halfway through the third quarter is that we find ourselves treading uncharted waters. It has led me to think about what exactly makes this so different than the last time we held this exact ranking, the last time we had a shot at something often-considered by many to be unattainable. Is it the simply the perception that the ACC is legit, and the Big East just simply wasn’t? Similarly, is it that, due to both the athletic department’s trajectory and happenstance (who knew Houston would be what they were when we hosted them in 2013), the schedule provides more opportunities?
