LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Louisville football program is now just one win away from officially clinching a bowl game after their comeback win at Boston College.

While there is still not a consensus pick among bowl projectors as to where the Cardinals will be heading this postseason, at this juncture, two bowls are starting to stand out. Of the nine projections for Louisville, seven of them are for either the Sun Bowl or Duke’s Mayo Bowl.

As a reminder, the ACC utilizes a system where they organize bowls with conference tie-ins into two tiers, but there is no selection order within each tier. The league and their bowl partners “will make team selections based on several factors, including geographic proximity, avoiding repeat appearances and matchups, and regular-season won-loss records,” according to the ACC’s official website.

The Cardinals will officially learn their postseason draw on Sunday, Dec. 8, following the end of conference championship weekend. The College Football Playoff selection show begins at 12:00 p.m. that day, and Louisville will learn their bowl shortly after.

With nine weeks of college football now in the rear view mirror, here are bowl projections for Louisville across various publications:
