It's all laid out for the University of Cincinnati football team.
Cincinnati, which on Tuesday moved up a spot to No. 24 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings will host Tulane on Friday (noon on ABC). If the two-time defending American Athletic Conference champion Bearcats win, they will host the AAC championship game at Nippert Stadium for the third straight year.
If Cincinnati (9-2, 6-1) loses and UCF (8-3, 5-2) wins at South Florida Saturday night, the Bearcats are out, and UCF and Tulane (9-2, 6-1) will play for the conference crown on Dec.
