His Bayesian Performance Rating slots Cincinnati as the 15th-best team nationally and the sixth-best defensive team&nbsp;in the nation. Aziz Bandaogo will continue anchoring that unit after&nbsp;a full,&nbsp;normal&nbsp;offseason in this program. UC has its highest expectations entering a season under Wes Miller&nbsp;and&nbsp;this is another example of why.
