More importantly, can you really trust a Cincinnati team that has played the easiest schedule in the AAC giving three touchdowns? The Bearcats rank 152nd in the country in SOS per Sagarin (by comparison Temple ranks 60th) and even with that soft schedule, Cincy has 11 turnovers in five games, they only beat Miami-Ohio 14-0 two weeks ago and they lost to lowly South Florida last week. Of course losing QB Munchie Lagaux for the season to an ACL hasn't helped.
