You have to love your Cougars to make it through that entire write up…
Cotton Bowl against USC would be awesome!

AAC champion
Houston:
Barrett Sallee picks UH 6th in the AAC?
I think USF #3 and UH were switched by mistake.
They have UH as underrated and overrated. Overrated mainly for not playing UCF and Cinn in the regular season.
Yep…
Yeah, Cobb wrote them up as the most overrated team due to their soft schedule (cites missing Cincy and UCF) and then has them finishing 3rd. The logic doesn’t correlate there. If Houston’s schedule is soft, then doesn’t that mean they have the easiest path to the best record in the AAC
6. AMERICAN
Top 25 Teams : 2
SP+ Average : 68.2
"And Houston, given its returning talent and schedule, can easily make a run at going 12-0 in the regular season. "
MWC at 9th. The mention the bottom teams but as Boise slides so does the MWC.

COTTON BOWL (AT-LARGE VS. AT-LARGE)
BAYLOR VS. HOUSTON
“Talk about a preview of the future Big 12.”
Boy, we are well placed in that tier set up.
NC State is a CFP contender?
I don’t care what anyone says, Cincinnati is a conference championship contender and not middle of the road.
I predict that neither Utah or NC State will be in the playoffs.
