2013 American Athletic over/under win totals . UC over/under 9.5
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball...win-totals
Cincinnati, 9.5 wins (over +120, under -160)
Could Tommy Tuberville follow in Brian Kelly's footsteps and win 10 games in his first season with the Bearcats? The schedule will give him a shot -- win at Illinois and USF, and Cincy could start 9-0 before a Nov. 16 date at Rutgers. But with a lack of offensive playmakers (Ralph David Abernathy IV aside), the usual headaches of a coaching change on both sides of the ball and Tuberville's penchant for dropping games along the way he shouldn't, the guess here is that at least one upset defeat and a loss in Piscataway will leave the Bearcats at 9-2 heading into the season finale vs. Louisville. The Cards have the more talented team and should be plenty focused, meaning a Bearcat loss -- and the under -- is more likely than not. Verdict: Under
According to this....

79% of us would take the over

This is not that surprising, I expect about a ten win season.

Reading through the other teams it seems like they expect all the teams to have 10 or less wins in the conference.

Based on the returning talent and the lack of talented teams on the schedule, my expectations are for 10 or more wins. Anything less will be a disappointment to me and a poor performance on the part of the players and coaches. Barring the Louisville game, there isn't a team on the schedule UC shouldn't be favored against.

Good assessment. I just hope UC doesn't underestimate Purdue in that opener. I know the Boilermakers haven't had much success of late and Nippert will be rocking but it's not a guaranteed win. UC will have new players in key roles, new coaches; a new system.
I know the PU fans consider the UC game one their team can win. While a loss probably won't impact bowl eligibility when the season ends, any win over a B10 team sends a strong message that Cincy is "a program" in this region that can't be ignored by fans, media...and power five conferences.
