Reference this thread: http://csnbbs.com/thread-821767.html

Post in this thread with a list from 1 to 14 for your power rankings of the CUSA football teams. Don't divide it by east/west, it should just be one list. 14 points will be awarded to your first place team, 13 to the 2nd place, on and on until your last place team gets 1 point.

I will update this front post to reflect the latest polls posted, up until Friday Oct 6.

Here's how it looks to me:

1. La Tech - Seems to be pretty steady
2. Marshall - Rising fast. Herd seems to have their mojo back.
3. WKU - I'm telling you folks, don't forget about WKU
4. UTSA - We'll learn a lot about the Road Runners the next 2 weeks
5. UNT - Just wow! Two weeks to prepare for UTSA. Look out Runners!

6. USM - Eagles get chance for redemption this week against UTSA
7. FAU - Big win over MTSU yesterday. Another fast riser?
8. UAB - Blazers have chance to make big noise this week against LA Tech at Homecoming

9. ODU - Don't now much about these guys this year
10. FIU - A 3-1 start against soft schedule makes you wonder
11. MT (w/o Stock) - Rocky start for MTSU in 2017
12. Rice - The Owls are probably the most mysterious CUSA team to date

13. UTEP - We're all waiting for Kugler to go
14. Charlotte - Please remind me why Charlotte is here?

I know you're joking - but if you want your poll to count you need to submit all the teams :)

The ranking for us (FAU) is, perhaps, correct. But should MTSU be so far above us?

FIU has needed a miss FG to beat a team that lost to an FCS school and was shut out by GSU. They might not win again this year

So, switch us with FIU in my rankings. Effect will be marginal. I give the largest credence to record, I believe a win is a win. I am absolutely certain, though, that at the end of the regular season we will be far ahead of FIU as we, seemingly, are a better team.

This is not a final overall season projection, simply what we've seen to this point.

I think anyone from 5-10 could compete for a bowl, but as of now, it's looking like Marshall has a pretty good shot to represent the East again.

I think UTSA will make a fairly substantial run, and will be the West champion.

BTW, a general comment on others rankings. I have no idea why everyone is higher on ODU.

They don't look good. They had a real chance with a healthy Ray Lawry.

Transitive explanation: We can't seem to beat Empty Sue, so they have to be ranked at least one spot higher than us. But we sure as hell ain't losing to you guys at home next week. (If I'm wrong about that second declaration, I will ask odu09 to modify my list.)

When ODU and FAU play each other, home team never wins.
