Friday night will mark the first time since 2015 that the Houston Cougars take the field with a College Football Playoff ranking beside their name. At No. 24 in the latest poll, Houston aims to protect TDECU Stadium and claim its 10th consecutive victory to finish undefeated in AAC play. There’s a lot to play for on the other sideline. Memphis currently holds the longest bowl eligibility streak in the AAC, qualifying for the postseason every season since 2014. At 5-5 with two opportunities remaining, the Tigers are in desperate search of one more victory to keep the trend in tact.
