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 01.15 games.
updated 01.16.06
| Rank | Team | Points | Record | RPI | Comments |
| 1 | Memphis (4) | 20 | 15-2 (2-0) |
2 | The best team in C-USA hands down. The Tigers have a very intriguing non-conference game vs. Tennessee, the #10 team in the RPI, on Wednesday. While this will not effect their conference record it could give them a stronger chance at a #1 seed in March. |
| 2 | UAB | 16 | 12-3 (2-0) |
39 | Even without Eddins, the Blazers uptempo style creates problems and they're looking really good through the first 2 games of conference play. |
| 3 | UTEP | 12 | 9-5 (2-0) |
150 | The Miners have got to be pleased with a 2-0 start in conference play and have 3 straight games against teams with 200+ RPI rankings before they travel to Houston on Feb. 1st. We could see a 5-0 UTEP team in that game. |
| 4 | Rice | 8 | 8-7 (2-0) |
202 | The Owls scored an impressive win versus Houston, and they pulled out a squeaker versus Tulane. Rice has a very tough test as they host UAB on Wednesday before a trip to SMU on Saturday. |
| 5 | Houston | 3 | 9-5 (0-2) |
90 | Those wins over LSU and Arizona seem like eons ago. They're off to a terrible C-USA start, but their RPI still cracks the Top 100, and you've gotta believe they can get past this and start getting W's. |
Also receiving votes: Marshall 1 Added this week: Rice Dropped out: SMU |
