Despite having the highest scoring offense in the Big East, other aspects of the game failed the Bearcats and they finished with just two conference wins. Fast forward to 2011 and Cincinnati returned more experience than any other Big East squad. But could they take this experience and win football games like they failed to do in 2010? Phil Steele picked them to finish in a tie for third in the Big East and projected them to the Compass Bowl. When we did our preview we ended up plugging them in at 4th (yeah, I picked them 6th...I'll admit it but I also said they would show "significant improvement"). Cincinnati did show significant improvement and won six more games then they did in 2011 and finished in a three-way tie for first in the Big East.

It was a season that started with smiles and ended in smiles. That's really all you can ask for. Bowl games may be completely meaningless in general, but there was 1 that mattered this season and it was the Liberty...
