"Cincinnati will go 12-0....but lose the AAC title game"

2) Cincinnati will go 12-0....but lose the AAC title game
http://stholeary.blogspot.com/2015/0...edictions.html

If Gunner Kiel can stay healthy, Cincinnati will be the best Group of Five team. They were a really good team last year that didn’t quite get the respect it deserved due to tough road losses to Ohio State and Miami. Most damning, they were ambushed by a vastly improved Memphis team in between those two games – ugly three game losing streaks tend to make people forget about you.

Here’s to guessing that won’t happen again. Cincinnati should be 3-0 heading into a big Thursday night rematch at Memphis, which I believe the Bearcats will be primed and ready for. They return home for another rematch game against Miami – another Thursday night game – that will provide yet another national TV showcase. Miami is still not that good. The tricky game is the road game at BYU, but it comes after a bye week and the jury is out on BYU being any good this year. The last six games are all winnable.

So that puts Cincinnati at 12-0, with a high ranking, maybe even on the fringe of the playoff discussion, when they host the AAC Title Game in December. The problem? They’re going to play Memphis again. And it’s really, really hard to beat the same team twice. They won’t.

While I'm expecting 10+ wins, it's not like he picked a joke of a record. Not sure his expectation has anything to do with not caring about football.

His expectation is based on the 9-4 records the past couple of years. It's kind of a lazy prediction IMO and it's based on the idea our coach will not deviate from that pattern.

My question doesn't just come from his prediction of 9-4. That is a fair prediction that could easily happen. But it steams from his countless bashing of the football program and I'm curious as to why.

I predict 10-2

We lose to BYU and one game in conference.

An undefeated season is so rare, but I think this team might have a chance. It's all going to hinge on the defense, they're going to need to be VASTLY improved if we're going to make some noise on the national stage. I think 11-1 or 10-2 is a very real possibility. No one on our schedule really scares me, it's just our defense that keeps me up at night.

Vegas has set the O/U for 7.5 wins.

Someone make the case for me why I shouldn't bet my life on the over.

Whoa! If that under hits, I may join NTS in my opinion of Tuberville. No reason this team shouldn't win double digit games.
