This preview/prediction is conducted assuming that the Cincinnati Bearcats will play all their games with a mostly full roster. No one can predict what’s going to happen this season, so I’m just going on this assumption.
Non-conference
I’m fairly bullish on the Bearcats in the non-conference portion of the schedule. I think Brannen’s squad will go 4-1 against Lipscomb, Furman, Xavier, Tennessee, and Georgia. UC will lose in Knoxville. The Vols have an exceptional combination of returning players and talented incoming freshmen (top 5 recruiting class) that will just be too much for the young Cats.
