Bearcats Crack CFP Rankings for First Time in 2022 Season

Cincinnati was back in the national polls this week as well.

CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are in the College Football Playoff rankings for the first in the 2022 season. 

Cincinnati took out East Carolina for its 32nd-straight home win on Friday earning them the 25th spot in the rankings.

The only AAC team UC's lost to this decade is also firmly in the rankings as UCF sits at No. 20. The Bearcats will play UCF in the AAC Championship game if both sides win their final two games. 

Tulane is a tough final home test and stayed in at No. 21.

That journey continues this Saturday at 4 p.m. ET against Temple. The road test is airing on ESPNU via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
