LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville football program might still be on the outside of the Associated Press Top 25 Poll looking in, but they're continuing to hover around. The Cardinals (7-4, 5-3 ACC) garnered 24 votes in week 14 of the AP Top 25, remaining in the "others receiving votes" section this week and earning a de facto ranking of No. 29.

Week 13 of the college football season continued to show that the Big 12 remains as compelling as any other conference in college football. And as a result, the Big 12's chances of having multiple bids to the 12-team College Football Playoff are in serious jeopardy after both of the conference's two top-ranked teams were upset on Saturday.
