The odds to win the AAC West 2016 had Houston as the big -300 favorite, one of the bigger favorites of any College Football division.
Athlon had this to offer about the Cougars:
After a 13-1 record and a Chick-fil-A Bowl win over Florida State last season, Houston is aiming even higher in coach Tom Herman’s second year. The Cougars are projected to be college football’s top Group of 5 program once again in 2016, and a schedule that features games against Louisville and Oklahoma provide opportunities for marquee wins. What can Houston do for an encore after going 13–1 in Herman’s first season? We’ll know how good the Cougars are after their top-20 matchup against Oklahoma in the opener.
Houston was at 45-1 odds of winning the National Championship game.
Memphis and Navy had the next shortest odds at between 5-1 and 6-1 depending on the book.
Tulsa was coming in at 16-1 odds.
SMU was coming in at 25-1 odds.
Tulane was coming in at 50-1 odds.
