The Cincinnati Bearcats earned their right to play in a bowl game after they won six-straight games to start the season. Since then, they won four more games to pad their bowl resume. So, for the last two months, the question has not been about whether or not they’d get in but which bowl game they’d play in.
On Sunday afternoon, the answer finally came in. The Bearcats will be playing the Virginia Tech Hokies in the Military Bowl on Dec. 31 in Annapolis, Maryland.
UC is making its return to bowl season after a two-year absence, as it last played in the postseason in 2015.
