NEWPORT, R.I. The University of Cincinnati was voted No. 4 in the American Athletic Conference East Division preseason football Media Day poll here Tuesday, roughly in line with predictions of national magazines.
UC coach Luke Fickell inherits a program that went 4-8 last season, which led to the departure of former coach Tommy Tuberville. The Bearcats last season missed a bowl game for the first time since the 2010 season.
"With the season we had last year, that's why we're picked where we are," UC senior offensive tackle Korey Cunningham said, shortly after the poll was released Tuesday.
