A month which included keeping both coordinators from bouncing to big-time jobs and hauling in a top 30 recruiting class was apparently enough for ESPM's Mark Schlabach to boost the Cards from unranked to No. 25 in his updated way-too-early top 25 for the 2015 season.

Ohio State tops the rankings, which feature three other ACC teams -- Clemson (10), Florida State (15), and Georgia Tech (19). Auburn, Louisville's first opponent of the 2015 season, checks in at No. 12.
