Though the Louisville football team showed no signs of a hangover the week after a devastating loss to Central Florida, the same can't be said for the USA Today and AP poll voters.
Despite hammering South Florida 34-3 on Saturday, the Cards fell from No. 16 to No. 17 in the latest installment of the coaches' poll. The fall was even more severe in the Associated Press Top 25, where U of L slipped from No. 18 to No. 20.
