The Times' Chris Dufresne's preseason college football top 25: No. 22 Houston - Los Angeles Times

Playing in Conference USA makes it more difficult to climb the polls, but Houston has augmented with a killer nonconference schedule that includes trips to UCLA early (Sept. 18) and Texas Tech late (Nov. 27). The Cougars also host a Southeastern Conference team, Mississippi State, on Oct. 9.

If Houston can win any combination of two against those three opponents, and dominate its conference, it should be in the national discussion and keep Keenum in the Heisman Trophy conversation into early December.

The Cougars' basketball program was once known as Phi Slama Jama. With Keenum in the cockpit and all those speedy receivers, this outfit could be Fly Slama Jama.

Mark Ingram Wins Heisman Trophy - NYTimes.com

In leading Alabama to a 13-0 season, Ingram, a first-year starter, shrugged off tacklers for Saban’s well-oiled offense. His 118.6 rushing yards a game were only good for 12th in the nation, but he starred as the best player on the nation’s best team.

Something missing in Heisman race - Tim Dahlberg / AP Sports

But the 900-plus voters don't see all the games. Some of them wouldn't be qualified to pick the best player in the country even if they did.

Good points in Dahlberg's column.

Treehugger Has 3 Ways To Throw A Greener Tailgate

I was just thinking about this at the Houston, Texas Tech game this past weekend. While we did go local for the cuisine, there was way too many items that just weren't recyclable. Sadly, there were even fewer places to dispose of the things that actually were. It's easy to overlook mother nature when your team's about to hit the field. Think next time and do your part.

Top 10 old-school teams making comebacks [NCAA Football]

Ahh..the glory days from the Alma Mater.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Cougars were an elite team in two decades -- the late '60s and '70s. In fact, Houston was ranked in the top 20 seven times in the '70s, including four top 10 finishes. This is, after all, a school that gave us Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware in 1989. After being investigated for more than 250 NCAA violations, the Cougars were barred from playing in bowls for two years in 1988 and lost 10 scholarships. They also saw their Southwest Conference disband in 1996. But now they're back. Could the C-USA's Cougars be the third-best team in Texas, ahead of A&M and Tech? For now, the polls say yes."
