These Three AP Voters Aren’t Impressed With Louisville

Charlie Strong and the Louisville Cardinals came in at No.19 in week five of the 2012 associated press college football poll. Only three of the voters didn’t have Louisville on their ballot.

Here are your culprits.


Eric Hansen
South Bend Tribune (Newspaper)
South Bend, IN

While five different AP voters have Louisville ranked in the top 15, Hansen hasn’t put Louisville on his ballot at any point this season. You mad, bro?


Mike Hlas
Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper)
Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Hlas also hasn’t voted for Louisville once this season. His most recent ballot has Louisiana Tech and Central Florida in the top 25. Yeah….I don’t know.


Ray Ratto
Comcast Sports Bay Area (Online)
San Francisco, California

Say what you will about Ratto, but I think we can all agree that this type of mustache takes dedication and time.  Ratto didn’t have Louisville in his preseason poll, but after the season opening win against Kentucky, Ratto added the Cards at No. 23. In week three he moved the Cards all the way up to No. 20, but hasn’t had Louisville on his ballot since the North Carolina game. Ratto obviously wasn’t impressed with that second half.

  1. Thanks for letting me know Nick. I’ll be sending these guys some emails today! That last one looks like the guy from ‘office space’ that got his desk moved to the basement.
