ATLANTA (AP) -No. 5 Cincinnati kept its national championship hopes alive – at least for a few more hours.
The Bearcats (12-0) pulled off a stunning rally to beat Pittsburgh 45-44 on championship Saturday and lock up the Big East title and a spot in the Bowl Championship Series.
At worst, Cincinnati and coach Brian Kelly can expect an invite to the Sugar or Orange bowls. And if No. 3 Texas were to stumble Saturday night in the Big 12 title game against No. 21 Nebraska, the Bearcats could vault into the BCS national championship game.
If the Longhorns take care of business at Cowboys Stadium, Colt McCoy and the ‘Horns are off to Pasadena, Calif., to take on the winner of the SEC championship between No. 1 Florida and No. 2 Alabama for the national title.
