(5) Cincinnati Bearcats. There are many options at #5, especially out of the American Athletic Conference. We decided to pick the Bearcats because of their tough, physical style of football that matches Texas Football.

There is also indirect NFL history between football in Texas and Cincinnati. In the old AFC Central Division, the Houston Oilers built a great rivalry with the Cincinnati Bengals. The rivalry has been renewed at the college level with the Bearcats and Houston Cougars now in the same AAC conference.

The Longhorns should be added to the mix with a date at DKR and a trip to Cincy, perhaps played at Paul Brown Stadium, where the Bengals play.
