College Football 2019: 3 Group of Five teams on upset alert in Week 12

Cincinnati has been one of the most surprising teams to come out of the Group of Five in 2019. Holding on to the No. 17 spot in the CFP rankings and cruising to a seven-game win streak, the Bearcats have been on a roll. They go into USF with all of the confidence in the world with their season on the line in just two weeks playing Memphis on Nov 29th.

This would not be a game that Cincinnati would look past to get to Memphis, but it has some troubling factors that could lead to a shocking result. The issues that the Bearcats have had have been on the road, where they gave up 43 points to East Carolina and battled Houston all game long in Texas. Another long flight to South Florida with a team that is playing with a chance to get to a bowl game could lead to issues.

South Florida is only 4-5 and has been getting smacked around in 2019. They have dropped their last two of three games and struggled to score many points. The Bulls, however, have been able to play solid defense at home at could get a good showing from their crowd on Saturday. A night game at Raymond James Stadium could be just what the doctor ordered for USF to bring some chaos to the Group of Five race.
