The Athletic Ranks UC Football Outside Top-65 Teams Nationally Entering 2023 Season

Cincinnati is not expected to do much in its first Big 12 season.

CINCINNATI — The Athletic unveiled its annual FBS rankings this week and Cincinnati checks in at No. 67 nationally. That's a 25-spot drop from the 2022 end-of-season rankings.

"Cincinnati moves to the Big 12 but must do so without (Luke) Fickell and some key players he took to Wisconsin," Chris Vannini wrote. "Journeyman Emory Jones will take over at quarterback."

That slots UC 12th among all 14 Big 12 teams this coming season. Only Houston (No. 73) and West Virginia (No. 83) were ranked lower than the Bearcats.
