The American Athletic Conference media gave Cincinnati a whopping 22 of its 30 votes, but the Bearcats are 3-3, while Memphis (five votes), Houston (two votes) and Temple (zero votes) are all undefeated and ranked. Some dummy even threw UCF a vote. The Knights are ranked ... in the ESPN Bottom 10.

During a season slashed by high-profile injuries, starting with BYU quarterback Taysom Hill and most recently Georgia Heisman hopeful Nick Chubb, no one has had a more ridiculous run of hurt than the Horned Frogs. Just the ailing four wide receivers would be enough to make coach Gary Patterson go bonkers. But it's the defensive side of the ball where TCU's injuries have been so baffling, missing seven key members. Secondary starters Ranthony Texada and Kenny Iloka barely got the season started before they were out with year-ending knee injuries. Same for linebacker Sammy Douglas and defensive end James McFarland. The only player from the 2014 defense who hasn't graduated, left for the NFL or been sidelined is safety Derrick Kindred. He has been joined on defense by 14 players making their first collegiate starts, tops in the nation. Just behind them is UCF, which has fielded 13 rookies on defense and are 0-7. TCU is 7-0.

I was giving our guys the benefit of the doubt, with youth being the main culprit. But damn. TCU has less starters than us, and they are doing just fine. I get that they're in the B12, so recruiting better players helps, but this is a slap in the face to the youth excuse.

SMH. I just want this season to end, and get a new coach (he deserves to retire. Not fired). It will give us a clean slate, and at least unite our fanbase

100% AGREE
 
To the huggers out there, is this why we hired George O'Leary? For notoriety?
