have beaten a top ten team. Its just that everybody thought the top ten team they were going to beat was going to be Penn State or Michigan and not Indiana. People have every right to question how good Indiana is. And to be fair Ohio State was up on them something like 35-7 when the wheels fell off a bit.
It is a real question to me of who did Cinicnnati beat? BYU beat a ranked Boise State team on the road by a lot. That win shouldve counted for something but it didn't. I'm looking at Cincinattis schedule and it doesn't look like they beat any ranked teams but they have a ranked tulsa team coming up.
To Cincinnati's credit it looked like they had an easier time with Houston than BYU did. BYU couldve done themselves a small favor by erasing the second and third quarter of that game and playing like they did in the first and fourth because a direct comparison between them and Cincinnati can be made by looking at common opponents and they had a better game vs houston than BYU did.
