MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Here at the Gold & Blue Lunch Report, we don’t watch that much AAC football. Maybe we should, considering the AAC is 3-3 against Power Five opponents this season while the Big 12 is 2-4.
The AAC’s showcase win, of course, was Houston ripping through Oklahoma in Week 1. But that won’t be enough to land the Cougars a Big 12 invite — heck, it might have strengthened the resolve of OU and Oklahoma State not to invite UH. The way the Sooners and especially the Cowboys rely on East Texas for recruiting, making Houston better might seem too risky.
