RJ's take: Willie Fritz is a winner. He flipped Tulane into a 23-4 program over the last two years and put foot to the ass of Lincoln Riley’s USC in the Cotton Bowl in 2022.

Now he's tasked with doing the same in a Power 4 league that's wide open, with what feels like 12 teams who could make the title game in December.

Houston's Win Total Odds: Over 3.5 (-160) Under 3.5 (+135)
