The Cincinnati Bearcats took care of business on Friday against East Carolina, finishing up their season with a 12-0 record and a real shot of winding up as one of the four teams selected for the College Football Playoff. They'll take on Houston in the AAC title game next weekend for a chance to finish with a perfect 13-0 mark.
All that said, they still have their detractors. Apparently, ESPN College GameDay analyst Lee Corso is one of them. Corso, in a bit of a candid interview done by fellow ESPNer Kirk Herbstreit, called Cincinnati 'lousy' when asked if the Bearcats should be part of the field.
