The Bearcats will take on BYU in week 10. The winner doesn't get an automatic invite to the Big 12 but it should.
Remember, remember the fifth of November because that's when Cincinnati will clash with BYU this coming season. (Please don't kill me Alan Moore). Its a bit late in the season for a non-conference game, but that doesn't erase the hype or the importance of the contest, as it is far and away the toughest non-league exam of the 2016 campaign. The Cougars have won at least eight games in five-straight years and haven't been left out of bowl seasons since 2005.
