Houston was ranked #6 early in the year after beating Oklahoma. They absolutely were in position to get in with Louisville still to come at that point.

That was an AP ranking. It definitely would have been interesting if they had run the table but it's not like they were just 2 spots out of the playoffs at that point.

Update to this post. In 2019 we could possibly play 6 ranked opponents (one in the top ten), A MAC conference champ and 3 or 4 AAC teams with a record above .500. An undefeated season, a lot of luck and I dont see any reason why we cant crash the playoffs. I wish every team below a great 2018 and even better and ranked 2019. 

2019 - 

OOC - GT, WISC, BYU, CMU   

Con games - 

* American home games: Cincinnati, Memphis, SMU, Temple

* American road games: UCF, UConn, East Carolina, Navy

If we run the table in 2019 and we have a chance at the Final Four.

It's page 7 so I'm sure it's already been said...

chances of running the table (knowing what little we know about the team then): 8%

chances of then getting into the CFP: 2%

This! Many on this board are still under the delusion that the CFP is for all teams. The cartel will never...never...ever let a team from the kiddie table play. Too much money to lose and they ain’t sharing no matter what. Just take a look at the conference representation who are a part of the committee each year...they are there to protect the the P5’s cash cow.

Can we crash the AAC championship game first? One step at a time.

The vast majority of years, a G5 team does not belong in the CFP.  If the Bulls run the table in 2019, then they will at least have resemblance of an argument with W's over multiple P6 schools

So we couldn't run the table with our best player ever against the weakest schedule ever but we are gonna start talking about running the table..in 2 years mind you.. against a tough schedule without the aforementioned best player ever/magician/savior of our program from the doldrums of the G5? 

Stop the madness.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
