5. Louisville Cardinals

  • Record: 9-1
  • Remaning schedule: at Houston, vs. Kentucky

The Cardinals also face the same issue Ohio State does: Win out and possibly not compete in the conference tournament.

Louisville has concluded their ACC schedule this year, finishing 7-1 in the league with their only loss coming to Clemson, which is why they sit right behind them in the polls. Louisville will be praying for a Wake Forest victory this weekend over the Tigers, but if Clemson pulls out the win,  Louisville could be finding themselves being weighed against two-loss conference champions at the end of the season.

With that being said, it would be real nice if Houston upset the Cardinals Thursday night and ended the madness a little bit early.
