LOUISVILLE, Ky. - While the Louisville football program is still be unranked, they're back within striking distance of jumping back into the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

The Cardinals (5-3, 3-2 ACC) garnered five points in week 10 of the AP Top 25 to land back in the "others receiving votes" section after garnering no votes last week, earning a de facto ranking of No. 30.

Louisville dug themselves out of a 20-point deficit at Boston College in their last time out, mounting a second half comeback to escape Chestnut Hill with a 31-27 win. It marked the fourth-largest comeback win in school history, and the largest since Lamar Jackson led a 21-point comeback against Kentucky to win 38-24 on Nov. 28, 2015.

Next up, Louisville will stay on the road and head to Death Valley for a showdown with top-ten Clemson. Kickoff against the Tigers is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m. EST.
