Cincinnati Bearcats
Final Overview
The schedule does not set up well for a successful first season for Luke Fickell and staff, and the roster needs some help as well. Tommy Tuberville really screwed this place up during his tenure, and so we are looking at a complete reset.
The schedule is fairly brutal for the most part, including three straight road trips in the first half of the season. I would place the over/under for wins at around four, but I would bet on the lower end of that for 2017.
What Really Happened
I pegged Cincinnati for a high end four wins, and they won four games. I had them pegged for a 4th place finish in the AAC East, and they finished in a three way tie for fourth. Win and win.
The only team that the Bearcats beat that finished with a winning record was Austin Peay, and they are an FCS program. It was an initial reset at 4-8, and there is still a great deal of work to be done by Luke Fickell and staff. That stretch of three straight road games early in the season resulted in a 1-2 mark during that road trip, with the lone win being a 21-17 win over Miami (Ohio).
