| Rank | Team | Points | Record | RPI | Comments |
| 1 | Memphis (6) | 30 | 26-2 (12-0) |
6 | Didn't really dominate the past two games, but the Tigers remain undefeated and clinch at least a share of the Conference USA title. |
| 2t | UTEP | 21 | 18-7 (10-2) |
64 | A 10-point loss to Memphis and a revenge win over Houston are enough to finally put UTEP into a tie for #2 in our Power 5 rankings. |
| 2t | UAB | 21 | 20-5 (10-2) |
52 | A win over Memphis could lock up an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament for the Blazers. A win over the Tigers could also pivot UAB back into sole possession of the #2 spot in the CUSA-fans.com Power 5. We all know which they'd rather have... |
| 4 | Houston | 12 | 18-7 (8-4) |
54 | The loss @ UTEP dropped Houston to 8-4 in the conference. By no means is their record bad, but this team was expected to do so much more. The early C-USA losses really hurt the Cougars and will likely come back to haunt them. |
| 5 | Central Florida | 5 | 12-13 (6-6) |
197 | At 6-6 the Golden Knights are 1 game up on both Rice and Tulane (5-7) for 5th place in Conference USA. While the records for #5 and down are mediocre we could spin it to show the parity of the league this year... |
