Between Gardner, Sanders, and Ridder, they have some amazing talent, coached by one of the best coaches in the country in Fickell |

Let’s see if they can capitalize on their schedule with Indiana and ND on it. |

I'm a staunch "bowl games are bad predictors" person so I don't overly weigh them (especially with all the opt-outs last year).  They will be really good and should get a retooling ND and probably overrated Indiana.  One of several intriguing G5 storylines this year. |

Cinci's only regular season loss will be to Notre Dame. But they will dump Indiana. |

Cincinnati returns their QB and most importantly returns Luke Fickell. Their recruiting isn't as strong as anyone up on this list, and they have to contend with an AAC that grows in strength every year, but this team has shown that they are up to the challenge.  |

This is my end of season poll last year. They earned these spots last year and get them to start the season this year.  |

The challenge for a G5 team against top-25 Power 5 teams is the same as the challenge a top-25 P5 team faces when it plays a playoff team -- if everything goes right, you have enough top-end talent to keep up, but you don't have the margin for error, injury, or missed development that a team on that next rung of the ladder does. Cincinnati isn't a top-four team, but they're good enough to hang around with and maybe even beat one on the right day. |

Elite Defense but they did lose some talent from last season's Peach Bowl squad...still the favorite to win the AAC but I don't think they are a Top 10 team. |
