No. 19 BYU’s path to Big 12 title game, CFP berth starts with must-win game against Houston

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! PROVO, Utah — Back-to-back losses have left BYU needing outside help to secure a spot in its first Big 12 championship game and play for a bid into the College Football Playoff. “We just got to be focused on this game.” Houston has a stout enough defense to make life tough for BYU’s suddenly erratic offense. Both teams are equally stingy with points where BYU ranks second in the Big 12 in scoring defense and Houston is fifth. Houston currently ranks last in the FBS in scoring offense while also ranking last in the Big 12 in total offense, passing offense and yards per play.
