#44 Cincinnati Bearcats: College Football 77 in 77

By

  For the Cincinnati Bearcats, it might be a step down this season. Okay it probably most likely will be. Especially since they have to replace playmakers in QB Zach Collaros and RB Isaiah Pead. This won't be a Big East title type of team, and given where the program has been recently, 2012 could be a bit of a disappointment. They'll probably still make a bowl though. … [Read more...] about #44 Cincinnati Bearcats: College Football 77 in 77

Yes, Shaq Daddy, Shaq Diesel, Shaq … [Read more...] about College Football 77 in 77: #58 Cincinnati Bearcats
