Report: Cincinnati Adds Bowling Green to Replace Miami

by Ryan Roberts

Per a report on FBSchedules.com, Cincinnati has added Bowling Green to their 2025 schedule as their week two opponent. UC will host the Falcons Sept. 6, 2025 while giving them a $975,000 guarantee. The two teams have met four previous times with Bowling Green coming out on top in each matchup.

Bowling Green is projected to finish fourth in the 2024 preseason MAC rankings.

Following the announcement of the ending of the Victory Bell game against Miami, Cincinnati was left looking for a week two opponent to follow the opening week against Nebraska at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. 

With UC now being in the Big 12, this is a move that makes sense. Rotate MAC teams each year as your G5 opponent and fill the other two openings with an FCS opponent and P4 opponent.
