Houston Is A Fringe Contender With Record Inflation Risk.

Context Houston gets one of the episode's strongest shared buys. Ty's case starts with Willie Fritz, coordinator continuity, Conner Weigman's health, returning production, and Makhi Hughes reducing quarterback-run dependence. Dan pushes even further, seeing a path to 10-2 and a Big 12 title-game rematch with Texas Tech.

The caution is that schedule shape may inflate perception. Dan likes Houston's November and sees several vulnerable defenses, so the Cougars could post a better record than their underlying quality.
