NEW YORK - After playing just one game last week, a 54-50 loss at Clemson while clinging to a spot in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll, it does not come as a surprise to see them fall completely out of this week's poll.
The Cardinals are now unranked in Week 11 of the 2020-21 AP Top 25 Poll, falling from their previous ranking of No. 25 last week to the "Receiving Votes" category.
Louisville has see-sawed in and out of the poll over the last five weeks, going from being unranked, to No. 16, back to unranked, then to No. 25 and now unranked again in consecutive weeks.
The Cards (10-4, 5-3 ACC) have a very busy week ahead of them, as they are set to host Georgia Tech today, then travel to Syracuse on Wednesday, Feb. 3 and Virginia on Saturday, Feb. 6. Tipoff vs. GT is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. EST on the ACC Network.
