On Friday, the Cincinnati Bearcats took care of business, winning, arguably, the toughest game remaining on their schedule (Memphis might disagree with that assessment). Cincinnati defeated UCF 27-24 in a wild game at Nippert Stadium. The Bearcats are now 1-0 in AAC play, but that 1 is huge, given that they share the East division with UCF.
History of AAC Standings
Since the formation of divisions in the AAC in 2015, Cincinnati has never finished higher than 3rd in the East. Temple (2015, 2016) and UCF (2017, 2018) are the only two teams to win the East and play in the AAC Championship game.
