The Cincinnati Bearcats entered the 2015 season as favorites in the American Athletic Conference. They were nearly unanimous picks to win the East Division (29 of 30 possible votes) and 22 votes went the Bearcats' way in picking the AAC Champion.
Since that point, the Cincinnati Bearcats have fallen to 3-3, with last-minute losses at the hands of Temple and Memphis, plus the devastating loss to BYU last Friday night. There were certainly question marks entering the season, but something about this start is all the more painful. There are three AAC teams ranked in the AP Top 25 and the Amway Coaches Poll at this moment and Cincinnati isn't one of them.
