Three keys, prediction: No. 9 Cincinnati hosts No. 23 Tulsa in AAC championship game

University of Cincinnati football coach Luke Fickell has led the Bearcats to 11-win seasons, including two bowl victories, each of the past two years.

Fickell has strung together the two highest-rated recruiting classes in program history and has the Bearcats planted firmly in the top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings.

"That was the goal when we walked in here," Fickell said.
