The Cincinnati Bearcats 2021 football schedule was released today, the first thing I noticed is they get two warm up games before Indiana and Notre Dame on the road back to back weeks. In the AAC part of the schedule, they don’t have Houston or Memphis during the regular season.
What are your thoughts on the Bearcats 2021 schedule? Wins against Indiana and Notre Dame will put them in the College Football Playoff conversation for sure, even a split will have them hovering around as long as it isn’t a blow out in my opinion. It is a lot to be excited about!
Per GoBearcats:
The University of Cincinnati’s 2021 schedule was released Thursday by American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco.
