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, Conference USA East looks like they have something to say about not being the better division. Marshall is back, FAU has arrived, and the defending champs in Bowling Green are riding a four-game winning streak.
1. Marshall (6-1, 3-0, Last Week: #2)
Marshall’s demise was greatly exaggerated. Whatever was ailing the Herd in 2016 (locker room issues, injuries, coaching, consistency, etc.) is no longer the case this year.
