Bearcats 18, 23 in Football Polls

The latest USA Today and AP polls following yesterday’s action were released. UC is up to 18 in the coaches’ poll. The AP still has UC at 23. I don’t know how or why either. They must be holding the Tennessee game against this team. I know it was a huge margin loss, but that game could have gone differently. Unfortunately it seems that no one has watched this team play since then. This is not the same team that lost to Tennessee. Look at the Vols now, they suck because everyone on their team got hurt. That’s not UC’s fault. But, when you are not looked upon to be a ‘good’ team, you don’t get ranked like one. Georgia Tech played no one and moved up 2 spots. UC won on the road and stayed the same. SMH.
