WTF? Cougar High gets votes?

Alridge is a freak, but without Kolb, they'll come way back to the pack. Middle of Conference USA. No way they deserve votes.

Some sports writers are predicting UofH to win C-USA West.

Cougar fans are very excited about one writer voting UH at #25. The QB situation is a huge question mark and two or three QBs may be used in the Oregon game.

TX Tech is pretty down this year. It's a good chance to pounce! With a win there and over UNT, SMU should be getting quite a few votes.

USM is always tough. It'll be interesting to see what kind of year RB Fletcher has. They get SMU at home.
