CUSA schools:
77. Southern Miss
No member of the reconfigured C-USA has a stronger tradition of winning.
85. Marshall
Herd should be able to stock roster with players from Ohio and Pennsylvania.
92. Louisiana Tech
Great talent base to recruit. Move to Conference USA is a plus for a program that was a misfit in the WAC.
95. UTEP
Still in Texas, but El Paso is a long way from everything.
96. North Texas
There are plenty of players, but it’s the ninth-best job in the state.
101. FAU
Strong recruiting base and a new stadium have raised FAU’s profile.
102. Middle Tennessee
Decent location, but fan support has been low despite strong success.
103. Western Kentucky
Hilltoppers have made a steady climb since joining the FBS ranks.
107. Rice
It’s one of the toughest jobs in an elite state for talent.
108. UTSA
The Roadrunners are in a better league (C-USA) than Texas State (Sun Belt). A program on the rise.
119. Old Dominion
Restarted football in 2009 after a 69-year absence. Monarchs have a strong recruiting area, and a new stadium could be on the way. There's a lot of potential here.
123. FIU
Great location. Little tradition. Questionable leadership in the athletic department.
124. UAB
UAB desperately needs an on-campus stadium. There's enough talent in the state of Alabama for the Blazers to succeed.
