The No. 21 ranked Louisville Cardinals pulled off a massive upset of the No. 3 ranked Florida Gators on Wednesday night in the Sugar Bowl. Now with Teddy Bridgewater returning for his senior season, they have their sights set on loftier goals in 2013. The Louisville Cardinals 2014 BCS Championship Odds are currently set at 20/1 by thegreek.com sportsbook. That is currently tied for eighth best on The Greek's list of potential BCS contenders.

Bridgewater connected on 20 of 32 passes for 266 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, while leading his squad to a 33-23 victory over the heavily favored Gators. As a result of this performance—which came at the expense of the No. 5 ranked defense in the country—there are now huge expectations on the young man’s shoulders going into his junior campaign.

The 2013 season will be the third act of Bridgewater’s collegiate career, one that began with so much raw promise and has blossomed into actual on-field production. We knew the young QB was ready for prime time when he was able to vanquish Louisville’s Big East rival, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, in the season finale—a must-win game that had BCS implications.

Now, after beating UF in one of the most prestigious bowl games in college history and earning MVP honors in the process, Bridgewater has become a household name. The only place to go from here is up, and we expect the Cardinals QB will be on almost every preseason watch list and a legitimate Heisman candidate next year to boot.

Thanks to Teddy and an impressive recruiting class the Louisville Cardinals are primed to make a run at a top 5 finish this year and another BCS bowl game.
