I'm actually far more intrigued by this game, I think Bama is going to run away with theirs. This one I think could be closer than people recognize, and I absolutely think that a Houston upset is possible here. This should be a very, very fun game to watch.

Houston's playing for a Big 12 invite, I think they win.

I don't think anything that happens this year has a thing to do with who the Big 12 invites. I think it's to a point where they know who they want and they're just trying to decide if they can even add any value to their conference by expanding. And not football value, that's clearly not the most important thing to them. If it were about football, Boise State would be the frontrunner, and UCF's name would have never even been mentioned in the conversation.

That said, I think that Houston does have a very good shot to win this game. They are a very, very good team with IMO one of the best coaches in the country, playing this game at home. I wouldn't be shocked at all to see them win this one.

Unfortunately I can't make it to Dallas for this one.

I won't be attending a game until the Tennessee game in Knoxville.

I'll be in Birmingham for the entire month of November and through the new year so I'll be going to the Mississppi State game and the Iron Bowl which I attend every year.

Yeah Knoxville is one of my favorite cities, and that matchup is probably gonna be a heavyweight bout. Super hyped for it.

Iron Bowl tickets are around 300$

This game has lived up to every expectation I had for it so far. Oklahoma keeps shooting themselves in the foot with all these stupid penalties. I love watching Houston, I hope they stay towards the top of the rankings for the entire season so I can watch them play more.

OH MY GOODNESS, what a catch! I think Greg Ward is going to be a very solid pro QB one day.

Houston has 4 field goals to 1 touchdown this could very well be a blowout had Houston converted better in the redzone

No way OU votes to let Houston into the Big XII now.

I know this is only game 1 of many, but Houston looks really, really good right now. I'm not saying it will happen or anything, but I think it would be so cool to see a Group of 5 team get into the Playoff.
