The Bearcats made history this year, with an undefeated record and a trip to the College Football Playoffs โ the first time a team from a non-Power Five conference has done so. "๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ด๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ
On Dec. 4, the Bearcats won their 13th game of the season, securing the American Athletic Conference championship and their spot in this yearโs playoffs. Star quarterback Desmond Ridder helped the cause with over 3,000 passing yards and a total of 30 touchdowns this season.
