The list of contenders shrunk this weekend, with four teams still in the running. Cincinnati reminded everyone that they’re top dog, and found out that their offense can contribute to their wins as well. Can anyone catch them? They’re the only undefeated team, but they’re not unbeatable and have the toughest part of their schedule remaining.
1. Cincinnati (5-0)
The Bearcats made a statement in their 49-10 win over Memphis on Saturday. The defense was stifling, and Desmond Ridder showcased his arm talent. Not many teams can outgain the Tigers, but Cincinnati found a way to dominate in that area, outgaining Memphis by nearly 200 yards.
