The Football Blitz

For the second straight year the Cincinnati Bearcats claim the Big East Title.  The most impressive stat is their undefeated status finishing the season ranked fifth in the country with a record of 12-0  That is right, Cincinnati remained undefeated!  I am sure the polls will change tomorrow so expect Cincy to finish third or fourth and they are definitely deserving of the higher ranking.  After overcoming a 21 point deficit against Pittsburgh, Cincinnati rallied to win 45-44 in a very exciting last nine minutes of play.  What will be most interesting is how the rest of the games today shape up.  Florida vs Alabama and Texas vs Nebraska become very important games for the Bearcats.  Their national title hopes hinge on Texas losing most of all.  It is not likely to happen for the Bearcats, but they are BCS bound and their undefeated season could create some controversy in the BCS system as there  seems to be controversy every year.
