Pretty safe to assume that one way or the other, Louisville won't be in this spot a week from today.
Also, Saturday's game will now feature the best combined ranking between Louisville (4) and Kentucky (1) in series history. The previous best came in 2011 when the Wildcats were ranked No. 3 and the Cardinals No. 4.
