Cincinnati Bearcats are 5-1 through the first half of the season. The first half of the schedule was always going to be challenging. Now, they play a much lighter schedule over the next two months, starting Saturday at Nippert Stadium.
The season ends with Temple coming to Nippert Stadium and the finale at Memphis. Temple is now ranked #25 after beating, previous 23rd ranked Memphis this past weekend. Temple has two wins over ranked teams (Memphis and Maryland). Memphis started 5-0 and is one of the top contenders in the loaded AAC West. Those two games will provide great challenges for the Bearcats.
