With just one regular-season game remaining in the year, the postseason is flying into focus for the Louisville Cardinals, who have already secured seven wins so far.
Having secured their sixth win of the year (making them bowl eligible) more than a month ago before going on a three-game losing streak, the Cardinals have known that their season was going to extend after rivalry week (when they're scheduled to play the Kentucky Wildcats).
However, the bowl game that Louisville is most likely headed toward has changed drastically over that same stretch of games, from a berth in the College Football Playoffs looking extremely possible to simply being grateful that the team will have a game after the regular season.
Which bowl game is Louisville most likely playing in?
Duke's Mayo Bowl
Ah, yes, the classic college football postseason game where the winning side dumps a vat of mayonnaise onto the head of their head coach.
So, if the Cardinals pull off an appearance in the Mayo Bowl and then proceed to win it, you could see a ton of mayo all over Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm before the end of the year.
Many national sites have the Cardinals facing the Tennessee Volunteers in this postseason game, with the opportunity to pull off a postseason upset over a powerhouse program.
Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl
Yet another bowl game that has taken on its own meaning in the modern era of college football is the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. Yes, named after the character from Kellogg's Frosted Flakes cereal.
While this game might not have gained as much notoriety as the Duke's Mayo Bowl, it will still be a step in the right direction for the Cardinals' postseason accomplishments over the last few seasons.
Currently, sites have Louisville aligned with the Arizona State Sun Devils, a team that made it all the way to the College Football Playoffs last season, in this game.
Wasabi Fenway Bowl
A third bowl game that might see the Cardinals in attendance is the Wasabi Fenway Bowl. Yes, the one that is played in the home of the Boston Red Sox, Fenway Park.
Louisville could easily find itself lined up against the USF Bulls, who were yet another team heading toward a CFP berth before disaster struck, according to ESPN college football analyst Mark Schlabach.
No matter which postseason game the Cardinals find themselves flying to, Louisville's season won't end with the regular-season game against the Wildcats.
For now, Louisville and Kentucky are scheduled to kick off at noon ET on Saturday, Nov. 29, and the game will be broadcast on the ACC Network.
