Louisville Cardinals quarterback Jack Plummer (13) looks to pass against the Kentucky Wildcats.

Coming off of the ACC Championship, the Louisville Cardinals still have one more game to play as a bowl-eligible team.

Thanks to Louisville’s 10 regular season wins, they’re eligible for some of college football’s best bowl games. They are all but a lock to play in one of the New Year’s Six bowls outside of those acting as semifinal games in this year’s College Football Playoff (CFP) – the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl.

Ultimately, where the Cardinals play is partly up to Florida State and the playoff committee. If Florida State makes the CFP after an undefeated season, Louisville is locked into a certain spot. If the Seminoles miss out, the Cardinals will play in a different bowl game.

Here’s everything to know about Louisville’s bowl destiny after the 2023 ACC Championship game.

Will Louisville play in a bowl game?

Louisville has been bowl-eligible since Week 6, when it upset Notre Dame for its sixth straight win to open the season. Even after losing to Pittsburgh the following week, the Cardinals seemed poised to make a dark horse run at a CFP spot if they ran the table and won the ACC Championship.

A loss to Kentucky in the Governor’s Cup during rivalry week dashed those hopes, even after Louisville had clinched an ACC Championship berth. Even so, a New Year’s Six Bowl is a likely spot for the Cardinals after 10 wins in the regular season.

Who will Louisville play in a bowl game?
