Consider by KeoughCharles05

At the end of the season, Cincinnati is likely to have played (and won) more games against ranked opponents, along with a better top win.

Yes, in some regard there's a lot of name teams having down years on our schedule. But, the ACC requirement is holding us back. Over the last ten years of the five ACC teams on our schedule (50 total seasons), there have been the following finishes:

Top 5 (4%)
2 (FSU 13, FSU 14)

Top 10 (10%)
5 (FSU 12, FSU 16, GT 14)

Top 25 (24%)
12 (VT 11, VT 16, VT 17, UNC 15, UNC 20)

Our ACC opponents have finished the season ranked less than 25% of the time over the last decade.

The rest of our schedule, (which includes Toledo and Navy) has done:
Top 5 (2.9%)
USC (1)
Stan (1)

Top 10 (12.9%)
Wisc (3)
Cinc (1)
USC (2)
Stan (3)

Top 25 (34.3%)
Wisc (7)
Cinc (3)
USC (6)
Navy (2)
Stan (6)

The ACC portion of our schedule would be expected to be worse than the rest of our schedule, nearly half of which is against non-power 5 teams.
