Almost every player on our rosters were recruited to play in the current configuration of C-USA. As a conference our on field success will be a direct result of the caliber of player our conference attracts, and the caliber of commitment our universities have made to strengthening our programs. This season should set a standard for where we can expect C-USA to finish as a conference in comparison to our peers. I believe we will rank among the best outside of the "guaranteed access" conferences.

Thoughts?

I see where you're going with this topic but I think it would be more telling in another 2-3 years. Same concepts. I also think that determining how good conferences are as a whole compared to others is so subjective that it's hard to really say this one is better than this one.
