RALEIGH, N.C. – Behind its first 2-0 start in ACC play since 2006, NC State is ranked in the top-25 in the two major polls this week. The Wolfpack checks in at No. 24 in the Coaches Poll and the Associated Press ranking.
Â
This week's ranking marks the first for NC State since the final poll of the 2010 season.
Â
"We are happy to be recognized for the progress our program has made," said head coach Dave Doeren. "That said, our focus will stay the same: improving each and every day and focusing only on the game ahead."
Â
The national ranking will be put to the test this week, as NC State hosts No. 17 Louisville in a national TV showdown Thursday night at Carter-Finley Stadium. The contest will be the first between two ranked squads at Carter-Finley Stadium since 2000.
Â
Because the NC State-Louisville football game will be on a Thursday night, there will be heavy traffic in and around the Carter-Finley Stadium Complex. For traffic and parking information, click HERE.
