Founded in 1885 in Cincinnati, the Bearcats have grown into a perennial contender with conference championships across eras, from Big East crowns in 2008 and 2009 to American Athletic titles in 2014, 2020 and 2021. Cincinnati became the first Group of Five program to reach the College Football Playoff in 2021, a capstone to a run that also includes notable bowl victories in the Liberty, Belk, Military and Birmingham Bowls.

Desmond Ridder and lockdown corner Sauce Gardner powered that modern surge, while the annual Battle for the Victory Bell with Miami (Ohio) keeps regional bragging rights burning. Home Saturdays at Nippert Stadium feel electric, with tight sightlines, the Bearcat Marching Band driving the Down the Drive chant, and pregame tailgates at The Grid turning campus into a sea of red and black.
