CUSA-fans.com presents the Conference USA Basketball Power 5, a weekly-updated ranking of the top 5 basketball teams in Conference USA as voted on by the CUSA-fans.com staff. Like the Top 25 polls, 5 points are awarded for a 1st place vote and 1 for a 5th place vote.
All comments, records and RPI rankings are through 02/11 games.
updated 02/14/06
| Rank | Team | Points | Record | RPI | Comments |
| 1 | Memphis (4) | 20 | 22-2 (8-0) |
4 | Listening to their 17-0 run in front of a packed house @ Marshall, it was amazing at how quickly a 3 point deficit became a 14 point lead. Every time the Herd tried to put together a run the Tigers had an answer to quiet the crowd. |
| 2 | UAB | 14 | 17-5 (7-2) |
48 | The loss @ UTEP was ugly, but when looking at the entire season the Blazers have the best chance at making the tourney of any C-USA team not named Memphis. |
| 3 | UTEP | 13 | 15-6 (8-1) |
94 | Miner fans will hate that they did not move up more, but when you look at this from a season-long perspective UTEP is not the #2 team in the conference. Not yet at least. |
| 4 | Houston | 9 | 16-6 (6-3) |
59 | Starting to round into form again with 6 straight wins. If they run the table, do they get back into NCAA hunt? |
| 5 | Rice | 4 | 10-12 (4-5) |
198 | They get this spot by default as no other team deserves it. Tulane, UCF, Tulsa and SMU got a look for #5, but each of those teams has very unimpressive resumes. As a result the Owls take the #5 spot in the CUSA-fans.com Power 5 rankings. |
