Well the people who get paid to make prediction are getting it all wrong if you ask me. Let's see what if the fans can do any better. Here are my preds. Please feel free to post yours.

Bump!!

Here is the predicted conference finish as per CFN.

1. Louisville (7-1 in Conference, 9-2 overall)
T2. Memphis (6-2, 8-3)
T2. Southern Miss (6-2, 6-5)
T2. TCU (6-2, 8-3)
T5. Cincinnati (5-3, 6-5)
T5. UAB (5-3, 6-5)
T7. East Carolina (3-5, 3-8)
T7. South Florida (3-5, 4-7)
9. Houston (2-6, 3-8)
10. Tulane, (1-7, 3-8)
11. Army, (0-8, 0-11)

These records are not impossible, but in my opinion very improbable.

Here is the predicted order of finish from C-USA web page

2004 C-USA FOOTBALL COACHES PRESEASON POLL

Predicted Order of Finish (1st place votes) Pts.
1. Louisville (2) 106
2. Memphis (3) 101
3. Southern Miss (2) 100
4. TCU (4) 99
5. Houston 70
6. UAB 61
7. USF 56
8. Cincinnati 45
9. Tulane 39
10. East Carolina 37
11. Army 12

This seems considerably more reasonable to me even though I do NOT see Louisville winning the conference.
