Teams ahead of them: Arizona State University (56), Texas State University (55), University of Central Florida (54), Georgia Tech (53), Fresno State University (52)

(Cincinnati 2024 Schedule)
RJ’s opinion: Former starting quarterback Evan Prater is in his second year as a wideout.
After becoming the first Group of 5 team in history to receive a CFP invitation, they earned the promotion but went 1-8 in Big 12 play in their first year. And Scott Satterfield is still looking for a star to make himself known for the 2024 season.
Considering a nonconference schedule that includes Townson, Pittsburgh and Miami in Ohio and a Big 12 schedule that doesn’t feature Oklahoma State, Kansas and Utah, a 6-6 record seems possible.
Total odds for Cincinnati to win: 5 points or more (-160) 5 points or less (+135)
