Exclamation upset alert
Sporting News has put Louisville on upset alert for week #1:

Quote: Ohio at Louisville (-11)

The entire season—not just the season opener—will be a mental grind for Louisville, the sudden sleeper darling of nearly everyone with a poll vote.

Let me remind everyone that Louisville lost to UConn in overtime last season, and got smoked by Syracuse. Were it not for a truly awful call of illegal man downfield against Rutgers in the regular season finale, the Cardinals would’ve lost that game, too (the Big East later admitted the call that negated a Rutgers touchdown was wrong.).

So what’s the reason for this entire Louisville offseason lovefest, you ask? The Cardinals beat a team in the Sugar Bowl (Florida) that has a history of playing down to competition.

Then there’s Ohio, a tough and physical team that began last season by winning at Penn State. A team with a dangerous dual-threat quarterback (Tyler Tettleton), and a team that has played in more difficult environments than Papa John’s Stadium (Ohio Stadium, Neyland Stadium, Beaver Stadium) and performed well.

Believe Me, We know Ohio is very capable of beating Us or any other BCS school on any given day. They are solid and well coached.
