It is pretty incredible to think about, but the Cincinnati Bearcats are just one win away from gaining bowl eligibility for the first time since 2015. To get that magical sixth win, they’ll need to dispatch the Tulane Green Wave at Nippert Stadium this weekend.
However, after starting 5-0, the Bearcats are no longer just hoping to play in the postseason. This team has overcome every challenge they have been handed and that has ratcheted up the confidence and the expectations for this team. After dismantling UConn in their American Athletic Conference opener, the Bearcats are beginning to lay a foundation for a legitimate run toward a league title.
