The AP ranked the Bearcats at #25 for 2 weeks (weeks ( and 10).  ESPN/USAToday ranked the Bearctas for week 9 only at #25.  At that point in the season that was probably worthy.  However, later in the season, while the Bearcats were winning 5 of their last 6, including 3 games against ranked opponents, we get no respect form the pollsters.

The AP does make their writer/voters known, but ESPN/USAToday does make their coaches known.  Here is the published list of coaches voting in their poll all seaosn long.
