To make the quirk of scheduling even more interesting. Cincinnati must travel to Memphis for the season-ending game. If Memphis wins, the Bearcats visit a second time for the championship game.

It'll save them some travel time.
They get 2 weeks to see the sights and sounds.

Sounds like two ass whippings for Cindy.

This could be the first.

I do not remember any team playing another team in two straight weeks. This could have only happened in recent times since the conferences did not have championship games before the BCS.

Dis regard the post. Already discussed.

And if UC loses both will the Liberty Bowl pick UC to fill that opening to have us play 3 straight games there? Lol

If you did play in the Liberty Bowl, maybe then they would let Cincy be the home team and use the refurbished locker room that the Tigers unveiled last year. It's pretty cool.

Exactly what home field advantage has Memphis had?

Memphis is 30-5 at home since 2014.

33-5

But who's counting?
