Week 8: vs. Arizona State – Sat., October 19th (TBD)
This is a game the Bearcats should win. No Big 12 game is guaranteed or easy, but this is pretty close to that. It’s the Homecoming game, it’s against the team picked to finish last in the Big 12 and a game the Bearcats should win comfortably.
Game Pick: Bearcats 41-Arizona State 17 (Record: 5-2)
Week 9: @ Colorado – Sat., October 26th (TBD)
This is my favorite game on the schedule, for obvious reasons. It’s at Colorado, against Coach Prime and the Buffaloes. And let me tell you, especially to those who haven’t been to Boulder yet, that that campus is gorgeous.
Colorado is similar to Cincinnati. They’re looking to bounce back from a sub-.500 season in 2023 and are in their second season with their head coach- who just so happens to be one of the most charismatic personalities and greatest defensive backs/return specialists in NFL history.
This game is already sold out, so the crowd should be electric. It’s the longest road trip of the season for the Bearcats, and it is a measuring stick game.
Game Pick: Colorado 38-Bearcats 31 (Record: 5-3)
Week 10: BYE
Week 11: vs. West Virginia – Sat., November 9th (TBD)
This is a game that every Bearcats fan should have circled on their calendars. West Virginia absolutely shredded the Bearcats last year. The Bearcats need to right that wrong at home this season, especially in early November with bowl eligibility at stake.
Game Pick: Bearcats 31-West Virginia 24 (Record: 6-3)
