Jon Rothstein, fan of the Bearcats and fine New York City food, has for some odd reason tabbed Cincinnati third in his preseason AAC power rankings.
Preseason AAC Power Rankings: SMU, UConn, Cincinnati, Memphis, Tulsa, Houston, Temple, South Florida, Central Florida, Tulane, ECU.

I just don’t get that for a number of reasons.
Rothstein has his finger on the pulse of college basketball. He’s one of those most knowledgeable people who covers the sport. So you’d think he’d know that Cincinnati returns just about every major contributor from an overachieving team from last season.
