Here we go again. Week 8 is upon us. Nobody in the country envies the challenge Navy is up against this week. The Midshipmen host No. 2 ranked Cincinnati football. Can the Bearcats keep proving doubters wrong and stay on top?
The Bearcats are coming in at 6-0 after putting up 56 points against UCF — a team joining Cincinnati in moving to the Big 12. The Bearcats proved they were the superior team and the Big 12 can look forward to a hugely competitive team in Cincinnati joining the conference.
The Midshipmen are coming into Saturday’s contest with a 1-5 record. It’s been a tough year for Navy with its only win coming against UCF, a team the Cincinnati just routed.
On paper, the Bearcats should have no problem toppling Navy, but the Midshipmen are always a tough team and will not go down easily.
Here are three bold predictions for Cincinnati as it looks to continue on with its undefeated season and keep pushing for that No.1 spot in the country. This will be the first time Navy has hosted a top-five team in 37 years. Navy hosts Cincinnati at Navy Memorial Stadium at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
Let’s get into the bold predictions.
