The Associated Press preseason top 25 poll was released earlier this afternoon. As most predicted, Louisville was voted number two. They were also voted number two in the preseason USA/Today Coaches Poll. I realize preseason rankings don’t mean much, but this is pretty special for Louisville. No. 2 is the highest they’ve ever been rated in the preseason AP Poll.
