Athlon predicts UC to finish 5th... in BIG EAST!

Good... was a bit concerned the 'Cats wouldn't be the underdog this year... I suppose the coaching change was enough to alleviate my concerns...

Oh ye of little faith.

That's a slap in the face. I can understand some people's hesitance to put them #1, but to move them into the bottom half of the league is ridiculous. Their offense (at least on paper) looks to be better this year. This team has lost one game in conference in two years. That should count for something.

Either all of these writers are going to look like fools (again) or we are going to be seriously upset here come December. The history of the past few years sides with us on this one.

I just hope UC is not too far out of the AP Top 25 and the Coaches Poll when the season starts. We saw last year what happens when you start outside of the poll. The times who are ranked have an inherent advantage.

Yeah, this stuff just makes me laugh now. Like you said TYZ, I can understand hesitance to have us in the 1st spot, and I can even forgive 2nd, but fifth? Just silliness. As long as we aren't too low in the polls to start the season. I don't expect another undefeated season by any means, but I'd be very dissapointed with more than 4 losses, which I'd expect to still put us in the top 4 of the league.

With the Reds possibly fading, the season can't get here soon enough.
