The Cincinnati Bearcats are on a bye week after their embarrassing 31-point loss to the Utah Utes. They remain in the AP Top-25 but missed out on the college football playoff rankings.
However, the Bearcats' season is still alive, by a thread. Here is what needs to happen: The BYU Cougars need to beat the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The No. 7-ranked Cougars take on the No. 8-ranked Red Raiders this weekend and if Cincinnati wants a chance at the Big 12 championship, they need BYU to come into Cincinnati undefeated. If the Bearcats can win out, beating Arizona, BYU, and TCU, then they will have a spot in the Big 12 Championship, which should give them a good shot at the playoff.
If they win, they are in, and if they lose, they are likely out. How much confidence do you have in the Bearcats finishing the season like this?
