HEre are my predictions on season outcomes with a win against Nebraska, and with a loss. Momentum is key and that is a must win game:
Beat Nebraska and could be 7-5 or 8-4
8/28 Nebraska (Kansas City) - W
9/6 Bowling Green - W
9/13 Northwestern State - W
9/27 @Kansas - W
10/4 Iowa State - L
10/11 Central Florida - W
10/18 @Oklahoma State - L
10/25 Baylor - toss up, call it a L
11/1 @Utah - W
11/15 Arizona - W
11/22 BYU - L
11/29@TCU - L

Lose to Nebraska - 3-9
8/28 Nebraska (Kansas City) - L
9/6 Bowling Green - W
9/13 Northwestern State - W
9/27 @Kansas - L
10/4 Iowa State - L
10/11 Central Florida - W
10/18 @Oklahoma State - toss-up
10/25 Baylor - L
11/1 @Utah - L
11/15 Arizona - probably a loss, long travel
11/22 BYU - L
11/29@TCU - L

What I think are interesting facts.

The Bearcats do not play

Arizona State
Colorado
Houston
Texas Tech
Kansas State
West Virginia

The Bearcats are entering their third year of Big XII football. They have played

Arizona 1 (2025) 0-0
Arizona State 1 (2024) 1-0
Baylor 1 (2023) 0-1
Brigham Young 2 (2023 2025) 0-1
Central Florida 3 (2023, 2024, 2025) 1-1
Colorado 1 (2024) 0-1
Houston 2 (2023 2024) 2-0
Iowa State 3 (2023 2024 2025) 0-2
Kansas 1 (2023) 0-1
Kansas State 1 (2024) 0-1
Oklahoma State 1 (2023) 0-1
TCU 1 (2024) 0-1
Texas Tech 1 (2024) 0-1
Utah 1 (2025) 0-0
West Virginia 2 (2023 2024) 0-2

The Cats are an awful 4-14 in Big XII play. They are also 0-4 against Bowling Green all time, and 0-1 against Nebraska. Coach Satterfield has lost the dominate home field advantage that is Nippert Stadium going a gut wrenching 3-10. The Bearcats must win 8 games or more, if not Satterfield must go.

. The Bearcats must win 8 games or more, if not Satterfield must go.

Drop that to 6. The Bearcats are not going to fire a coach who makes a bowl game, even in the watered down bowl game era.

In the era of the 12 team playoff making the playoff should be the goal for Cincinnati Football, not going 6-6 with a trip to the Pop Tart Bowl presented by Cheez Its.

11/15 Arizona - probably a loss, long travel

That game is at Nippert, so the Wildcats will be the one traveling 2,000 miles.
