This week on The Height Differential, Nick and Neil break down Louisville's win over SMU, Kentucky's upset of Texas A&M and Ole Miss' big victory over LSU before turning their attention to Cincinnati. Is the Bengals' defense actually legit, and what does the team need to do to stay in the playoff conversation?

Forever Young moved up to No. 2 in the latest NTRA Top Thoroughbred Poll after winning the Jockey Club Gold Cup, and we preview this weekend's Lukas Classic at Churchill Downs.
