Someone on here said something to the effect of Houston needing to go 1-0 each week. I think, being the first week of the season, it is WAAAAAY to early to talk about what happens within the AAC, let alone the CFP.
Think of it this way - EVERY game that Houston plays, here on out, will be the other team's "Super Bowl" - to be the team that defeats Houston will be a huge victory for that team.
I think many of us are undervaluing how difficult it will be to get through the gauntlet of the AAC unscathed. It's too early to predict how many of these teams will actually play throughout the rest of the season. I think USF has a really solid team this year - can Houston beat them? I don't know!
It also looks like UCF isn't going to roll over and die on every team this year - so that is another factor.
There are a lot of IFS that can play out - it's the glory of college football! A lot of game has yet to be played and we all know that that injuries can plague even the best of teams.
So sit back, enjoy your week 1 victories (sorry Tulane and Temple, I was pulling for ya...) and let's hope that all of our AAC brethren defeat as many of the OOC teams they play this year. It would be great to have conference victories over the likes of Louisville, Florida State, Michigan, Maryland, NC State, Syracuse, Virgina Tech, South Carolina (holy smokes, ECU - that is one HECK of a schedule you got there! ...)
The point being - there is a lot that has to happen this season. My hope each week is that my teams (Cincinnati, Florida State) go out there and win, one week at a time (but knowing Tuberville, each week is a gamble!)
Congrats again to Houston and the rest of the American teams that won this week. Keep the momentum moving forward (unit you face the Bearcats in Nippert or on the road).
