Ranking CUSA
1. Houston- Coogs continue to move up in the polls. Can they get into the BCS Conversation?

3. Southern Miss- Golden Eagle fans need to turnout in large numbers for this huge game against USM
4. UTEP- The 3 losses this year have come against the league's top 2 teams and a good USF team
5. Tulsa- Tulsa needs to win this week to stay in the CUSA West race
6. Central Florida- Knights travel on the road to play UAB on a Thursday Night CSS Game
7. Marshall- Herd is still top of CUSA's East Division despite overall losing record
8. Rice- A loss in the final 2 minutes against Marshall could end up killing the Owls bowl chances
9. East Carolina- As bad as they've looked at times, the Pirates are still in the CUSA East hunt
10. Tulane- Time to get a new coach. Rich Rod and Tommy Bowden are available
11. UAB- Thursday Night game in Birmingham means. Any chance 20,000 show up?
12. Memphis- Hard to believe Memphis was actually up on a FCS team by 10 points against ECU
