Welcome to Episode #65 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

Two convincing wins over FSU overJackson State, but are the Houston Cougars a Final Four or national championship contender this season? Houston is now 9-1 and ranked #7 in the AP and #10 in the KenPom rankings, and lots of social media chatter this week has been around how every National Champion since 2004 has been in the top 12 of the Week 6 AP Poll.  Does this Cougar Team fit the bill as bona fide contenders? 

Please have a listen as the 3 Old Men break down the games from the past week, as well as provide some thoughts on next week's UNO game.  We then go deep with our perspectives on whether this year's iteration of the Cougars are national title contenders (and if not, can they bridge the gap to get there)?

- No Conference for Old Men is available for free via Spotify / Apple Podcast / SoundCloud & the GoCoogs.com website; we're also available via the Republic of Football Podcast feed from the folks at Dave Campbell's Texas Football as their only basketball-centric offering

As Paul Rudd once said: "Hey, look at us. Who would've thought? Not me." And yet, here we are ("here" as in "hopping on for a bonus Roost Podcast for Matt and Carter to take you through the wild turns over the last week that led to Rice getting a bowl slot at 5-7"). Matt's got the scoop on how we ended up here, and while we've got some time to preview the game itself--the Armed Forces Bowl vs Texas State on January 2nd--frankly, we're just excited to be here!
