CINCINNATI-- After a dominant performance en route to a 52-23 win at San Diego State on Saturday night, the University of Cincinnati football team moved up once again in the weekly polls.

This marks the first time since the 1954 season that Cincinnati has appeared in the national rankings in consecutive weeks.

Winners of five in-a-row to start the season and eight straight dating back to last year, the Bearcats travel to No. 21 Rutgers Saturday. The BIG EAST Conference opener for both teams, kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. on ESPN2.
