LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Louisville football program had this past weekend off, so as expected, their position just outside the Associated Press Top 25 remains unchanged.

The Cardinals (2-0, 0-0 ACC) garnered 25 points in week four of the AP Top 25, remaining in the "others receiving votes" section. Louisville has received votes in every AP Poll released so far this season.

While Louisville hasn't faced the stiffest competition so far this season, they're still 2-0 so far in year three under head coach Jeff Brohm. The Cardinals opened the season with a 51-17 victory over in-state FCS foe Eastern Kentucky, then followed that up with a comeback 28-14 win against James Madison.

Next up, the Cardinals are coming out of their first bye of the season to host Bowling Green. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20 at 12:00 p.m. EST.
