For homecoming, SMU is scheduled to host a Cincinnati team that has won 11 games in back-to-back seasons.
Cincinnati enters the 2020 season as the reigning American Athletic Conference East Division champions and the Birmingham Bowl champion. Coached by Luke Fickell, the Bearcats are returning after back-to-back 11-win seasons.
Cincinnati finished ranked a consensus national top-25 team in all of the major polls in 2019. And with a large group of athletes returning on both sides of the ball, the Bearcats are expected to compete for the AAC title in 2020.
