The Conference USA Power Rankings are never a prediction for how things will end up, but rather a snapshot of how teams look at the moment. At the moment, the preseason favorites to win C-USA are not living up to the hype. You could make a point that the ship has sailed on Marshall (C-USA East favorite) and North Texas (C-USA West favorite) meeting in the conference title game.
Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss are the only undefeated teams in C-USA West while FAU and WKU are the only undefeated teams in C-USA East. While we still have half a season to go through, odds are the last team standing will be one of these four.
