Tough times. Even Richmond, Columbia and Harvard received more "other votes" then us. Unbelievable 
UK ranked #6 and we get 1 vote

Well, if the voters watched our games, that's the reason for no votes. I hate to say it, but Louisville has not shown they should receive any votes for the top 25. They still haven't figured out their identity except for 4th quarter collapses which will definitely cost them votes.
Time is running out but the Cards have some tough games remaining. Win some of those and maybe they figure out what works just in time for post season play.

I expressed my concerns about this UL WBB Team after witnessing their performance in the preseason, so I have tried to be as objective as possible in predicting their future outcome Thais season. Clearly this roster is filled with very talented young players, but the overall inexperience explains why this team is not where we are accustomed to seeing CJW coached teams of the past.
However, Realville raises a valid point when it comes to questioning our ranking, as our SOS has been brutal, evidenced by 4 of our 7 losses come against currently top ten ranked teams. UL right now is tied for 4th in the ACC, yet we are the only one that is not included along with the other 7 ACC schools who are ranked in the top 25.
If, admittedly a pretty big if, UL beats FSU in Tallahassee on Thursday, it will indicate that UL has improved significantly since its humiliating loss at home to a very good NCST team.

You may disagree with me but I believe my point is valid. I took BK's post to mean look how uninspiring the Cards are that Ivy league teams are receiving more votes for the top 25.
I didn't think he was saying Louisville is being dissed like the men's team has been. I may be wrong but I believe he was saying the Cards are running out of time to change the perception of them as a non ranked team.
Maybe Louisville should get the benefit of the doubt, being a elite program for over a decade, but I haven't seen them as a top 25 team yet this season, and unfortunately I don't think we will this season.
Hope I'm wrong, starting with the FSU game.
