LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville football program suffered a stunning upset loss at Stanford this past Saturday, and as expected, they've taken a tumble in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll.

The Cardinals (6-4, 4-3 ACC) garnered 15 votes in week 13 of the AP Top 25, falling from No. 22 in last week’s poll to the "others receiving votes" section this week and a de facto ranking of No. 30.

Louisville entered their matchup with Stanford as a 20.5-point favorite, but were dealt a 38-35 defeat for their fifth-worst loss by point spread in school history. Stanford scored 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, including a 52-yard game-winning field goal as time expired.

Next up, Louisville returns to L&N Stadium to wrap up ACC play with their home finale vs. Pitt. Kickoff against the Panthers is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 23 at 3:30 p.m. EST.
