The undefeated Cincinnati Bearcats have risen in both the AP and Coaches Polls and are now ranked 24th in both, which were released earlier today.
It’s not that UC’s simply beating cupcakes, the best according to the RPI experts being Western Carolina at 163, it’s that the Bearcats are running them off the floor. Cincinnati’s averaging an astonishing 96.3 points per game with an average margin of victory of 42.3 points. That’ll grab the attention of voters, even if only one of their games was actually broadcast on a television channel and even if that channel was Fox Sports Ohio.
