Memphis (3) |
15 |
13-2 |

When your fans, and the fans of rival schools, are concerned that you only win by 10 points over anyone, you know you have a good team. |

UAB |
12 |
10-3 |
33 |
They're pretty even with Houston, but we've got UAB slightly ahead due to a slightly better RPI and a slightly better SOS. |
|
3 |
Houston |
9 |
9-3 |
40 |
Began the season 4-3, and like the Blazers, the Cougars have had a nice run and are in the middle of an impressive winning streak. |
|
4 |
UTEP |
6 |
7-5 |
191 |
3 straight losses have UTEP looking forward to conference play. With 5 straight C-USA games against sub 240 RPI-ranked teams, the Miners should start off strong. |
|
5 |
SMU |
3 |
7-5 |
277 |
The Mustangs have not won more than 2 straight games all season and have bad losses to Wyoming and Louisiana-Monroe. But SMU has looked better in winning 6 of their last 9 with a impressive showing against Oklahoma. |
