The University of Cincinnati is just one win away from their first undefeated football season in recent history.  I checked the record books and the last time they had zero loses was in 1918.  The team remains in the fifth place of  all major polls as they head into Pittsburgh this Friday to take on now fifteen ranked Pitt.  Pitt was as high as eighth in some polls until their loss to West Virginia over the weekend.  If the Bearcat football success isn’t enough, the basketball team is now ranked in the top 25 teams in the country after a few big wins early in the season.  It’s a great time to be a Bearcat!

Now it’s time for my weekly fantasy football update.  I had a bad week with just one win.  I now sit in seventh place in one of my money leagues, with just one week to go before the playoffs.  I need to be in the top six to continue so I really need a win this week.  In my other money league, I upset to the top ranked team in the league and should now have reserved my spot in the playoffs!  In the non-money league I fell to fourth place after a loss.  For the pro pick’em leagues I am in first place in both, while I’m in fifth in the college version.  I am in third place in the salary cap game.  And finally I am still alive in the survivor game with my pick of Cincinnati over Cleveland.  I’m leaning towards Chicago over St. Louis for this week.
