Cincinnati Bearcats Bye Week: Early Season in Review, Luke Fickell, Playoff Picture And More

Congrats, everyone! You’ve made it. You’ve made it to bye week. And the Cincinnati Bearcats are still undefeated.

Truth be told it wasn’t pretty (that Indiana game was shaky in the least) but UC has managed to hold its place as a top ten team and possible late-season College Football Playoff contender.

The Bearcats are undoubtedly looking talented with their signal-caller —Desmond Ridder — reaffirming his role as the top group of five field general and Jerome Ford popping off for multiple touchdowns in multiple games. One could make the argument for the defense performing even better with its top five status staying intact thanks to the likes of names including Ahmed “Sauce” Gardner.
