I got long-time Houston beat writer Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle, who took over the American Athletic Conference media power rankings midway through this season, to answer five questions about the Cougars. He did a thorough job.
I, on the other hand, have done a lousy job posting the power poll. It's supposed to go on daily newspapers' web sites, but I don't think the Advocate would be willing to pay me to do it, and I've simply forgotten to post it here except for once. This is the first year I've participated--they went with Will Guillory of the Times-Picayune last year--but I will make more of it next year if the poll continues, which is in doubt. The Memphis Commercial Appeal begged out of running it after the beat writer left and the Orlando Sentinel bailed on it completely two weeks ago.
