People don't love boise state and TCU. It has taken a while for Boise State to get the respect they have now. As for TCU, don't they have almost everybody returning from the year they had last year, including the coach?! I think you guys are trying a little to hard to be "disrespected." If Kelly stayed I would have been shocked to not be in the top 25, but not now after he left.

Dude, they have freaking Kansas, Purdue, and Northwestern ranked ahead of UC. Kansas and Purdue were garbage last year and nothing tells me they will not be again this year. Those teams will finish in the bottom half of their respective conferences. I call placing UC 41 with the talent returning (Collaros, Pead, Binns, Woods, Hazleton, Bones, Ben G.) disrespect.

After dropping 40 plus on the teams they play, the Bearcats will be in the top 20 somewhere by the end of the year. Not to mention a drubbing of porn stache man on the last game of season.

If we start out at 17-23 and go 4-0 (including a win over Top 10 Oklahoma) we will be knocking on the top ten at that point. When you consider the games after that are Miami U, Louisville, USF and Syracuse--- we will certainly be well set to be knocking on the top 5.

The key is to be top 25. I don't know if we will be there unless we come out of the gate 3-0. If (and there's a good chance we will) lose to Oklahoma, we might not get back there again unless we run the table up to and after the WVU game.
