U of L football climbs in rankings after beating BC: See where Cards are

Louisville football eked out a 38-24 win over Boston College and moved up to the No. 17 spot in the latest US LBM Coaches Poll , released Sunday.

The Cardinals are bowl eligible and have a chance to pick up the program's first win at Virginia Tech when they play in Blacksburg, Virginia, this week. Despite the history, Louisville will likely be favored against the Hokies , who just picked up their third win of the year in a 42-34 double-overtime victory against California.
