I don’t recall ever seeing that. 28% of top 25 are in G5 (+ byu).
Remarkable.

Streaming has voters able to see all the G5 games and a decade + of the huge possibilities of realignment has led to so many G5 schools going all out on football.
From the this link: 7 (w BYU 8)
There were 8 G5+BYU ranked at the end of last year. All thanks to the American. Other G5 teams have been able to ride on our coattails without actually having to go out and beat top teams.

BYU is not eligible for the NY6 G5 bowl slot. Plus, UTSA has to be ranked ahead of us AND win their conference.
Take care of business and win the CCG and no other G5 conference champion will be ranked ahead of us.

Win out and UTSA will not be anywhere near us.
Book it!

Lets see if they’re even ranked ahead of us once the CFP rankings come out.

I suspect that when the first CFP poll comes out Tuesday we will be ahead of UTSA….
If we are not we will be shortly.
If UTSA goes undefeated and we win out we will get the NY6 bid… One loss American team is greater than zero loss UTSA.

Does anyone know when the last time UH has been ranked in the top 25 in both football and basketball ?

And to think that a lot of people here think that we’d be better off in the weak sister PAC-12.
Good grief.

As a fan, I care more about the conference matchups than I do about athletic department budgets. That said, Pac12 TV deal would definitely pay out more than the B12 lite is going to.

Houston is moving toward 10,000,000 population. When somebody in the PAC figures that out they will come.

The PAC could be shut of the Top 25 for five years and still have more caché. There’s a reason the B10 formed an alliance with the “weak sister”. They know they can destroy the B12 in one fell swoop. They don’t want to have to choose between the two. Same for the PAC.
As soon as a B12 member gins up its brand a little and goes to the playoff they’ll be picked off in a heartbeat.
Not according to some sources that have been posted.
We’ll see.
Let’s win next week and see where everything is.

You’d rather play TCU, Kansas State, Iowa State, West Virginia, etc. over UCLA, Arizona, USC, Colorado, Oregon, etc.

Yes, I would rather play in the closest power conference than the furthest power conference. There are more B12 folks in Houston than Pac12 folks, despite all of the California transplants.

Id rather play Tech, TCU, Baylor, Okie St., and BYU over any of the Pac schools. Those brands mean way more in this part of the country.

Dr Khator mission is to guide this University to highest academic heights not football heights. PAC offers we accept, B1G offers we accept, ACC offers we accept. Like any other school in this B12 will do

The odds of the Big 10 offering UH a spot are about the same as the Big 12 adding Ohio St. Which is to say zero chance it ever happens so go ahead and strike that one out of your dreams. As for the other two they’re simply a down grade so hard no.
