Cincinnati has risen one spot in the latest Associated Press top 25 poll, released Tuesday afternoon.

The Bearcats are now ranked No. 7, up from No. 8 in last week's season-opening poll. They rolled to a 49-14 win Saturday over Miami (OH) to claim the Victory Bell for the 15th straight season.

Cincinnati remains the highest-ranked, non-power five program in the poll. The highest-ranked of that group is assured a spot in one of the New Year's Six bowls, as the Bearcats were last season. Currently, the highest-ranked team behind Cincinnati is Coastal Carolina, at No. 19.
The Bearcats are back home on Saturday to host Murray State at 3:30 pm ET.
