This is a no brainer for the BIG 12.........Houston is light years ahead of everyone else in the AAC in terms of talent, fan base and market.

Whether Houston wins or loses, they are P5 material and can compete with the best.

And, as Joe D and Gresh pointed out, they'd bring the Houston area market to the BIG 12 which the SEC now controls.

They are a very exciting team, and if picked, wish them all the success.

I know Herman is another successful season from leaving and thus putting UH into obscurity again but if you're the Big 12 you gotta be impressed. It makes me sick but watching this game makes me realize they are definitely the biggest football program available at this moment. I know the Texact angle and all but you gotta think that a lot of Big 12 folks are seeing this game and atmosphere and all the red, whether it be OU or UH red, and be impressed. Really makes me sick bc if the Big 12 comes calling Herman might stick around
If UH can keep Herman, that would actually be good for the Big 12. It's better for the conference than for him to go to Texas and make them more powerful against others in the conference.

I gave in and turned Houston on. I have to say they and the atmosphere pass the Big 12 eye test.
That atmosphere is roughly 40-50% OU fans. I'd hope UH fans would be jacked up to have a top 5 team and one of the best programs in the country come into their hometown.

You have to let this play stand I think, no indisputable video evidence

I am 75% sure his knee was down but no camera can prove it.

Ward Jr looks like he might be hurt. Keep an eye on this as we move forward

I agree on the call standing but that really hurt OK; pretty sure he was down before the ball got pulled out...

Always love to see RU get a beating. Down 24-0 in the first at Washington. :D

nowhere near the profile of the bigger games but this Northwestern/WMU game on ESPNU is really intense right now.

Northwestern 21 WMU 16 5:45 left WMU 4th and goal on Northwestern 1

Wow it is hard not to be impressed with UH. They are fun to watch....

From a UConn perspective it is better for UH to win. If UConn wants credibility then UConn needs to play credible teams. If UH holds on to beat OU then this is the UH team UConn should want to play. No one in American will expect UConn to beat UH so it is a huge opportunity. Way better option than OU stomping UH and then UH beating UConn....

Besides if I am KSU or ISU or OSU I am terrified against recruiting against UH....UH looks and plays like a Big12 team now...give them Big12 recruiting and how do the non-Texas schools compete?

Touchdown Houston!!!!

I am cheering for Houston. These decisions are made by people who care about a lot more than football wins/losses. Plus I want them to be ranked in the top 5 win we beat them in Houston in a couple weeks
