updated 01/23/06
| Rank | Team | Points | Record | RPI | Comments |
| 1 | Memphis (4) | 20 | 17-2 (3-0) |
2 | Thursday night's match-up with UAB should be interesting. It should also be the Tigers only real conference "test" before their March 2nd game vs. UAB in Birmingham. |
| 2 | UAB | 16 | 14-3 (4-0) |
39 | Their 10-game winning streak will be on the line TH night @ Memphis. An upset here could almost ensure a NCAA Tourney bid for the Blazers. |
| 3 | UTEP | 12 | 11-5 (4-0) |
142 | The streaky Miners have 4 straight wins to begin C-USA play and host SMU on Saturday before heading to Houston on Feb. 1st. |
| 4 | Houston | 7 | 10-6 (1-3) |
79 | A rough start in conference play for the Cougars, but only 2 of their next 10 games are against RPI top 150 teams. |
| 5t | Rice | 4 | 8-9 (2-2) |
219 | Two losses last week for the Owls but they stay in our Power 5 rankings tied for 5th place with SMU. With games @ Southern Miss and vs. Tulane this week the Owls should have a good chance of bouncing back with 2 more wins before facing Memphis on Feb. 4th. |
| 5t | SMU | 4 | 9-7 (2-2) |
228 | An OOC game vs. Texas Pan-American before heading to El Paso to face the Miners on Saturday. The Mustangs have a great opportunity to move up in our Power 5 rankings with a big road win this weekend. |
Also receiving votes: UCF 1 Added this week: SMU Dropped out: N/A |
