Big East power rankings, Week 12: A new leader

[OSU8085]

1. Cincinnati (7-2, 3-1): You go into Morgantown and knock off the previous week's No. 1 team, and you get to rise to the top for at least one week. Plus, Cincinnati has Pittsburgh at Nippert Stadium in two weeks in what could become the league's championship game.

I really hope Cincy wins the Big East and reprsents well in the BCS as they come to Corvallis next year and that'd set up for a potential sweet game (big east champ vs. maybe pac ten champ - but even if we don't win the Pac 10 it'll be a good game)

UC has played well with their QB situation. Guys are now starting to get healthy for the stretch run. They have an extra game (At Hawaii) at the end of the year, which gives them 13. Every other Big East team in contention has 12. Kinda odd, but could help them out if they end up not winning the Big East title. They could finish with an extra win to freshen up the minds of the rankers. I hope the Bearcats can get into a good bowl game this year....against the Pac 10 champ would be Great!

Well we played like **** last year and got our butts handed to us in cincy...I for one would like some redemption but if add the factor of two conference champs facing eachother...that'd be a sweet

We have a better Qb situation now...we threw what 6 picks against cincy?

That game was ridiculous. It was the only home game I went to last year and the crowd was rockin. The Bearcats defense has played pretty well this year, not as good as last year, but they have two potential stars in the secondary with Mickens and Smith and Byrd isn't too bad on the D-line. I'd like to see them in any "bigger" bowl...last year they got to the Papa John's bowl, but the year before that, they got that stupid International bowl in Toronto...don't want to see that happen again.
