Most people were talking about how we would blow them out like a million to zip, but this game made me nervous because of how some of us viewed the Bearcats. <br /><br />First of all, Cincinnati is not a MAC team (not to disparage the MAC at all) in fact this team is a full D-1 team that unless I am mistaken either had an opportunity to become a Power five school or was at least in the discussion. That meant that they were wearing big boy pants. They currently play in a conference with other teams the ilk of Houston, Memphis, Navy, SMU, UConn, South Florida, U-Central Florida, and Temple. Granted schools that aren't known for blowing the doors off of the top ten rated colleges but they aren't MAC (no disrespect intended) schools either. <br /><br />Michigan was supposed to have beaten Cincinnati and they did, and their poor play was largely of their own doing and not Cincinnati. However, I remember some years ago when Jim Tressel was at OSU, they started the year off against Cincinnati and struggled to beat them and the experts were concerned about a potentially weak Ohio State...they were wrong. My point is that it would have been a big mistake to take Cincinnati lightly. The state of Ohio has a "lot" of talent in it and some of that talent goes to schools like Cincinnati and so forth.<br /><br />Unfortunately, the college ranking "experts" could likely use this game as a reason not to give Michigan the respect it deserves. However, again they would be wrong. Michigan is young and on offense they are making mistakes and they are working through them. As long as they stay healthy they should be fine.
