updated 02/06/06
| Rank | Team | Points | Record | RPI | Comments |
| 1 | Memphis (5) | 25 | 21-2 (7-0) |
4 | The Rice Owls made a few Tiger fans nervous, but good teams find a way to get the win. Memphis is more than just a good team. |
| 2 | UAB | 20 | 16-4 (6-1) |
45 | The loss at Memphis didn't seem to slow the Blazers down any as they have won two straight since then. This Wednesday they face a nice test @ UTEP. |
| 3 | Houston | 14 | 14-6 (5-3) |
72 | Why can't they play quality teams every game? Motivation has to be a factor for the Cougars. In fact, the Cougars are 5-4 against RPI Top 150 teams this year. |
| 4 | UTEP | 11 | 13-6 (6-1) |
111 | The Miners record against the RPI Top 150? 1 win, 5 losses. Hosting UAB on Wednesday will be huge for the Miners if they want to establish themselves as a legitimate contender in C-USA this season. |
| 5t | Rice | 2 | 9-11 (3-4) |
205 | How can anyone not include Rice after the showing against Memphis? A tough week for the Owls with two road games this week @ Marshall and @ Tulsa. |
| 5t | Tulane | 2 | 8-12 (4-4) |
254 | No disrespect to Rice, but Tulane has 3 straight wins - including a victory over the Owls. But the Green Wave has a tough road ahead with UCF, UAB and Memphis next on their C-USA schedule. |
Also receiving votes: SMU 1 Added this week: Tulane Dropped out: UCF, Marshall |
