Louisville football improves to 7-1 on the season and the Cardinals keep their ACC Championship dreams alive. The Cardinals have won three games straight since their loss to Virginia before the bye and are emerging now as a real candidate for the ACC Championship game, but also as a real candidate for the College Football Playoffs.

Louisville was once +3000 to win the ACC Championship, but after taking down Miami and now rattling off three straight wins, many are picking Louisville as the possible front-runner.
