Unfortunately (for them) Cincinnati proved the critics right. The formerly undefeated Bearcats were no match for just the
fifth best team in the Big East. This means the Texas/Rutgers winner will be the only undefeated team in the country. Virginia Tech continues their late-season fade, as they couldn't quite handle Texas A&M.
