Projection: likely out
Houston's resume shows promise with a stellar defensive performance, ranking at the top nationally; however, they have struggled against higher-tier opponents, losing close games to Auburn and Alabama, which raises concerns about their competitiveness in key matchups. Despite solid wins against weaker teams, their overall strength of schedule is lacking, and upcoming games against formidable opponents like Kansas, TCU, and Baylor will be crucial. Success in these challenging contests is vital for bolstering their tournament standing; otherwise, their current trajectory could leave them vulnerable as they navigate through a loaded Big 12 schedule.
