David Pollack has seen the chaos that has happened in college football this year, as there have been countless moments already this year. As we get closer to the end of the regular season, the upsets figure to continue.

In Week 9, Pollack sees another big upset in the college football world, as he thinks Cincinnati will take down another undefeated Big 12 team.

“Utah is 7-0 for the first time since 2010, and Cincinnati outphysicaled Texas Tech,” Pollack said on his See Ball Get Ball podcast. “Cincinnati just beat a top 10 team by running the football. I got Cincinnati. Back-to-back weeks where Nippert is rocking, and Cincinnati pulls off the upset.”

In the win against Texas Tech, the Bearcats rushed the ball 40 times for 255 yards against one of the elite defenses in the country. Leading the way for the Bearcats was running back Cole Tabb, who rushed the ball 16 times for 173 yards.

The Bearcats are extremely difficult to beat at home, and they face a Utah team that at times has struggled.

In the win over Houston last week, the Utes couldn’t get anything going until Devon Dampier saved the day. He finished with 204 passing yards, 150 rushing yards, and two rushing scores. He did a great job of willing his team to a victory, but they will need a more balanced attack to win this game.
