Louisville will begin the 2015 college football season unranked, at least in the eyes of the coaches who vote in the USA Today Top 25 Poll. The Cards received 27 votes in the poll, which was released Thursday, good for seventh in the "others receiving votes" category.
Auburn, U of L's week one opponent, checks in at No. 7 in the poll. Florida State (8) and Clemson (12) are also highly-ranked to begin the season.
