CINCINNATI — Cincinnati's taste of Big 12 football contention turned sour across Saturday's 34-23 loss to Colorado. It also moved them down The Athletic's 1-134 FBS ranking from No. 33 to No. 46.

"Cincinnati drops to No. 46 because of its loss to Colorado and because of Texas Tech’s loss, which drags on the Bearcats due to their head-to-head result," Chris Vannini wrote.

Despite the stumble, this has still been a stellar start to the 2024 season for Cincinnati. They need just one win in the final five games to return to a bowl game and check off a key early milestone in the Scott Satterfield era. 

ESPN's FPI has Cincinnati as a 60% or higher favorite in each of their final two home games.
