    Houston is doing good and all this year, but there is no way they should be ahead of Texas.:p

    It does sound screwy.. but if we run the table and Texas drops another game or two, we'll definately be ahead of them.

    Go Coogs! Gotta support the home team.

    That Kolb is something else. True freshman playing like a senior. I understand he played for Briles in HS? I guess he knows the system...

    F**K Barrick Nealy!! :D

    haha.

    yeah, screw barrick.. traitor..

    but yeah, Kolb didn't play for Briles in HS.. he played in the system Briles created at Stephenville HS after Briles left for Tech though.

    Kolb was on the way to OKState, but he got a phone call about Briles coming to UH, so he stopped the car and turned around for Houston!

    Congrats to UH on a fine season so far

    but as the Michigan game showed

    UH has no business competing against BCS schools

    I'm sorry but they just dont have the talent and depth

    Texas would school UH just like they smoked Rice

    Yeah, well Michigan smoked a lot of teams. From the Oklahoma game you could conclude the same thing about Texas.

    With all of the East Coast conference shakeups...and the apparent demise or near-demise of Conference USA, what will UH do? I hope the WAC is not an option.

    I've heard all kinds of stuff..

    from joining the MWC, to nabbing up programs like Marshall, Toledo, etc.. to CUSA joining the Big East to make a gigantic superconference.

    good point

    but Texas' problem is coaching, not player skill and depth

    if Texas had anyone that knew how to game plan worth a hoot, they would be much better

    Credit to UH for bringing out the best in their players and for stepping up and playing well

    still a long way to go in the season though

    on a side note: TCU and N.Illionis have no business being ranked either

    The important thing is that U.H. is getting better at the right time. Conference reallighment is in 2-3 years so we'll see what happens. The WAC is not an option. Either an improved C-USA or another mid/upper level conference is possible. I have heard that TCU and Houston are 2 schools that will most likely travel together, whatever conference that may be. Dont know if that is true or not...

    Well lets see, Texas just got their asses handed to them by OU 65-13, and UH lost 50-3 to Michigan, on the road. I dont think theres any room to talk. Now Im not saying that U.H. is ready to compete big time with BCS schools, but U.H. would not get beat by Texas as bad as Rice did. Hell the Coogs beat the crap out of Rice 48-14, very similar to the Texas - Rice score, 48-7.

    UH football is best served by leaving it in a lower-tier conference and being competitive against the Tulane's, Louisville's, and TCU's of D-I football.

    I am not dogging UH football, I am thrilled that they are doing well again!

    Maybe so.....and Texas would do themselves a favor by not playing Oklahoma anymore. Too painful to watch. They do much better playing against Tulane & Rice too!

    There is no reason why, given the right amount of time, U.H. football cannot compete with the upper-tier of college football. Its the 3rd biggest school in the state of Texas (36,000 students) and is in the middle of one of the biggest recruiting hotbeds in the country. The support is building quickly for the team on campus and from alumni, and were starting to fill the stadium.

    Aren't there more D-I teams than that in TX? What about Rice, North Texas, UTEP, SMU, etc? While we're on the subject why did the SMU football program go down the drain? I recall them being a major football power at one time. What happened?

    No, TCU has the best. They're undefeated.
