Top 5 non-UH American Athletic Conference teams

The University of Cincinnati Bearcats are a sleeper team virtually every year. In their last 10 seasons, they have failed to finish above .500 just once, when they went 4-8 in 2010.

After a 7-6 record in 2015, the Bearcats return to the field looking to wreak havoc with a more experienced roster.

Led by sophomore quarterback Hayden Moore and senior running back Tion Green, Cincinnati has a roster that could make noise in the conference.

There’s only one problem: Cincinnati lost their top six receivers from a year ago. With inexperience at the wide out position, drops and bad routes could plague what would otherwise be a prolific offense.
