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, nothing has really changed. For the first time in a while, we had a week without major upsets.
1. UAB (7-1, 5-0, Last Week: #1)
UAB became the first team in Conference USA football history to have three shutouts in the same season as they went on the road and beat UTEP 19-0. A home game against a well rested UTSA team awaits.
2. FIU (6-2, 4-0, LW: #2)
The Panthers took care of business on the road and beat WKU 38-17 to become bowl eligible.
