I think UTEP is going to bounce back quickly
USM, UNT, UAB, LT all could be top 150 teams. I don't know about Charlotte. They'll get better but it might take a few seasons.

Even though CUSA was the only conference outside the P6 (BE is a power) to have 4 schools with 25 or more wins and the only conference to have 7 programs with 20 wins or more, 4 on this list is about right.

Considering just about all low major conferences will get at least their top program on there and each of the top power conferences get 8-10 on there and the MVC and A10 will probably have 4 and maybe 5 on it and the AAC will probably land 5 maybe 6 on the top 144.

Is the top of CUSA underrated, hell yes. But even though as good as the top of the conference has been the past 4 years or so the bottom has been real bad and some have been DII bad.
