Group of Five Power Rankings: Boise State is back? Boise State is back

1. Houston (2-0)

Houston had to play without quarterback Greg Ward last weekend against Lamar, but that was no problem at all. The Cougars blanked Lamar, 42-0, a week after scoring one of the best wins of the opening weekend against Oklahoma. With that win, it may be difficult for any Group of Five contender to chase down Houston unless the Cougars stumble. The win over the Sooners will look even better if Oklahoma can pick up a home win this weekend against Ohio State.

What’s shocking is all the fans, and I mean ALL, are picking Houston in the playoff, with nary a bit of snark (I think one guy picked us to go 11-1, but whatever). Is this real life?

It is different, I’ll say that.
