Houston's resume features strong defensive prowess, ranking at the top nationally, but their inconsistent offensive performance has held them back. They have notable wins against teams like BYU and TCU, which showcase their potential, yet losses to top-tier opponents like Auburn and Alabama raise red flags about their ability to compete under pressure. Upcoming matchups against ranked teams such as Kansas and Baylor will be crucial; winning at least one of these games could enhance their standing significantly. However, dropping winnable games against lower-ranked opponents could jeopardize their tournament placement.
