LOUISVILLE, Ky. - After a few weeks on the outside looking in, the Louisville football program has officially jumped back inside the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

The Cardinals (6-3, 4-2 ACC) garnered 115 votes in week 11 of the AP Top 25, rising from the "others receiving votes" section in last week’s poll to No. 25 this week.

It's a well-deserved return to the AP Poll for Louisville after what they were able to accomplish on Saturday night. Heading into Death Valley, the Cardinals dominated then-No. 11 Clemson for a majority of the night, securing their first ever win over the Tigers with a resounding 33-21 victory.

Next up, Louisville heads into the final bye week, and will head to Stanford when they return to action. Kickoff against the Cardinal is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 16 at a to-be-determined time.
