9. Louisville has moved up in the rankings every week

I know that it’s really hard to wait all week, to only be disappointed by the committee’s decision to keep Louisville out of the top four. At the same time, it should encourage you that Louisville came in at five this week, even with three of the top four teams losing.

There is still a lot of football left to be played this season and Louisville is right in it. Not to mention, we would be feeling a little different if the Cards stayed at six.

I truly believe that the committee likes Louisville, but is waiting to see one of the two Big Ten teams fall- we will get to that later in this article.

Again, it’s a great sign that Louisville keeps moving up in each poll. Don’t panic just yet, these rankings aren’t set in stone.

Next: Number Eight
