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.

updated 12.27.05
| Rank | Team | Points | Record | RPI | Comments |
| 1 | Memphis | 15 | 9-1 | 2 | Far and away the class of the conference. No questions asked. |
| 2 | Houston | 11 | 5-3 | 54 | The Cougars are 2-1 vs. the RPI top 100 and face Rhode Island on Tuesday night. Rhode Island, ranked #102 in the RPI, will be a nice test for Houston to see how serious this team is about staying in the #2 spot in C-USA. |
| 3 | UAB | 10 | 6-3 | 89 | Both the Blazers and Ok State come in with modest 2-game winning streaks. A W for UAB would be a nice statement win for the conference. |
| 4 | UTEP | 6 | 6-2 | 183 | UTEP has a warm-up game vs. Mississippi Valley State on Tues. before the New Year's Day showdown @ Texas Tech. If the Miners can celebrate the New Year by taking it to Syracuse on the road on January 4th, UTEP may shoot up the rankings. |
| 5 | Tulsa | 2 | 4-6 | 273 | It would be nice to see this team win more than 2 consecutive games. Games @ BYU, vs. North Texas and @ Texas Pan-American close out the OOC schedule. |
