Louisville Holds Steady in Fourth College Football Playoff Rankings of 2023

The Cardinals mounted another comeback, this time on the road against the Hurricanes, to remain at their same spot in the College Football Playoff Rankings.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville football program might have mounted a come-from-behind win against Miami to secure their spot in the ACC Championship, but it didn't alter placement in the most recent College Football Playoff rankings.

Like last week, the CFP selection committee thinks just slightly less of the Cardinals (10-1, 7-1 ACC) than the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll this week, keeping Louisville at the No. 10 spot in their fourth rankings of 2023. The Cardinals came in at No. 9 in the AP and Coaches Polls this week for the second week in a row.

It continues to be Louisville's highest placement in the CFP rankings since coming in at No. 5 in the third rankings of 2016, which is their highest ever placement by the selection committee.

Entering the fourth quarter trailing by five, Louisville out-scored Miami 15-3 in the final period to pull off yet another late-game comeback. Backup QB Evan Conley scored on a five-yard wildcat keeper, starting QB Jack Plummer connected with WR Kevin Coleman Jr. for a 58-yard catch-and-run touchdown, then the defense held firm with a goal line stand to hold onto a 38-31 victory.

Louisville will be back in action this weekend, returning home for a showdown with in-state rival Kentucky in their regular season finale. Kickoff against the Wildcats is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 25 at 12:00 p.m. EST.
