I'm not sure there's ever been a greater disparity between Louisville's rankings in college football's two major polls.The Cards will enter week 12 of the college football season ranked No. 13 in the coaches' poll, and No.19 by the AP (which doesn't matter at all, but we still reference for some reason).
To further drive the point home, Louisville is ranked six spots ahead of the Central Florida by the coaches, and three spots behind the Knights by the AP. While I enjoy the former distinction as much as the next guy, it's pretty hard to make a legitimate case for having U of L above UCF right now. But whatever.
BCS rankings come out later tonight.
