Our good friends at Campus Insiders have done something pretty great. I am not saying others do not do this. I am just saying I haven’t seen this done before. They took on the task of ranking every single division 1 team. I am going to list for you the opponents on Louisville’s schedule so that you can see what we are up against this season. It is a schedule with 3 top 25 teams on it, 2 within the first 5 games. I am also going to show you Louisville’s rank as well the entire list will be at your fingertips at the end. Let’s start off with:
11. Louisville (8-5)
2015 Final Season Ranking: 51
2015 Preseason Prediction: 9-3
This is it. This is when it all kicks in for Bobby Petrino as he takes the Louisville program to a whole other level. Winning six of the last seven games showed just how close the Cardinals are to being fantastic, and this year is when it all happens – at least if all works according to plan. The nation’s 18th-ranked run defense will be better, and the offense should be far more consistent.
Without further adieu Let’s kick-off (PUN SO INTENDED) with Charlotte.
