CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Bearcats stand on the precipice of College Football Playoff history.
They did everything asked of them in a celebratory 35-20 win over Houston in the American Athletic Conference championship game Saturday to put themselves in position to become the first Group of 5 team to ever make the playoff.
The CFP selection committee will release its final rankings on Sunday. The resume speaks for itself: Cincinnati finished 13-0 with a marquee win over No. 6 Notre Dame, and put together an impressive conference championship performance that should answer any questions the committee might have had headed into the day.
