I did a similar analysis after Kelly was hired
Took the starting 22 for Cincinnati and each of its opponents, looked up the Rivals ranking of every starter (on a scale from 4.9 to 6.1) and then computed the average for each team. Based on this formula, UC had equal or less talent than all but two opponents last season (SE Missouri State and Miami of Ohio).
