5. No. 8 Cincinnati at Tulsa

Cincinnati is the team with the most realistic playoff chance this season and if they want to keep those hopes alive, they will need to get through a Tulsa team that has already pulled off one upset against UCF and almost another in Week 1 against Oklahoma State.

The Bearcats’ defense has been among the nations best and will need to be at their best on Saturday because Tulsa can score and has playmakers on offense.

Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder has had a good start to his season, but the Bearcats could use more consistency on the offensive side of the ball. They were only able to manage 28 points last week against a really bad South Florida team and they may need to score if their defense can not contain this Golden Hurricane offense.

Cincinnati will need a convincing win to keep their faint playoff hopes alive.
