Welcome to the first edition of this year's CUSA Power Rankings. Expect a ton of movement until some games are actually played. Until then, I'm just throwing darts.
1. Western Kentucky (12-2 last season)
This committee of one is a big believer in the Hilltoppers this season. Despite losing standout seniors Tyler Higbee, Nick Holt, Wonderful Terry, Prince Charles Iworah, and of course the best quarterback in school history Brandon Doughty, they still have Jeff Brohm running the show and that's enough for me to leave them atop in CUSA. Well that, and the fact that they boast the deepest stable of running backs in CUSA and dynamic playmakers at the receiver position.
