| Rank | Team | Points | Record | RPI | Comments |
| 1 | Memphis (4) | 28 | 27-3 (13-1) |
4 | The popular thing to do could be to drop them down to #2 after their loss to UAB, but you cannot ignore the resume that the Tigers have built all season. This team is still the best team in Conference USA, and they are still deserving of a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. |
| 2 | UAB (2) | 26 | 22-5 (12-2) |
44 | The Blazers just punched their ticket to the dance with their win over Memphis last Thursday night. |
| 3 | Houston | 16 | 19-8 (9-5) |
57 | The Cougars still have an outside shot at an at-large bid, but they really need to knock off Memphis and/or UAB in the C-USA tournament. |
| 4 | UTEP | 13 | 19-8 (11-3) |
73 | It is unfortunate for the Miners that, without Tofi, they aren't the same team. A close win followed by loss to UCF knocks them down in our rankings. |
| 5 | Central Florida | 7 | 13-14 (7-7) |
191 | Up today, down tomorrow. The Knights are as inconsistent as can be and it would not be surprising to see the #12 seed ECU Pirates upset UCF in the Conference USA Tournament. No matter what, this has been a good first season for UCF coming over from the A-Sun. |
