The initial college football rankings have been released, but despite ranking No. 17 in both the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll, the Cougars failed to crack the Top 25 of the playoff rankings.
This just serves to emphasize the importance of every game left this season, and this week no game is more impactful for UH than the matchup between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Tech Red Raiders. As a bonus, it has the potential to be the highest-scoring showdown this weekend.
Texas Tech has proven to be a talented but inconsistent team.
