UNT will be a contender in C-USA this season. I'd love to know why you believe the Mean Green belong in the middle of the pack?

Power rankings are not indicative of where you think they will finish, but where they are currently.

Based on two weeks of pay, This is where we are.

I just shows that Western has got off to a terrible start in relation to where they were last week, Marshall also. A couple of good wins can do wonders.

Unfortunately, it's very difficult to separate many of the teams in the League this year, as almost all of us have underperformed in some fashion.

You’re kidding right? We lost to Indians St by 40 points in a game we were favored to win and then to ECU by double digits. That honor belongs to us, not even an argument

RE: Week 2 CUSA Basketball Power Rankings
I think you should wait until the end of the weekend to post your rankings. FAU plays North Dakota today, and ODU plays Penn tomorrow, and really those scores should be included in this week's power rankings.

And if you're just basing this on results so far, Charlotte should be #1 as they're the lone unbeaten left. UAB has a close loss at South Carolina but was down for double digits for most of the game. I think they're the best team in the league myself, but if you're just basing your rankings on performances thus far, several other 1-loss teams have better wins than UAB.

I agree, but posting on Monday is more difficult for some people than posting over the weekend. So it's more about convenience, especially since there are games almost every single day. Although I understand your point.

Posting it on Saturdays has worked for me, and I don't have to be the only one that does this, I kinda want to see what other people think too.

I'm just trying to start a discussion about current team play.

This early in the season I believe it best to cluster the teams into groups. I'd have UNT in the top cluster. Time for football now. I'll revisit this later.

The Florida schools have a pulse which is nice. Rice also looking good. WKU and ODU have been the unexpected letdowns.

Well we’ve played 3 top 100 Kenpom teams in South Carolina, Minnesota, and (15) Memphis without a top 50 freshman PG and a 15 a game SG from Cincy. We would have liked to win at least one of those but not sure it’s a letdown this early. Still have Ole Miss, Buffalo, and Louisville to come.

For reference. CUSA’s best win to date is 124 Wright State.

Can't argue with that.

RE: Week 2 CUSA Basketball Power Rankings
Since all the games for this week are now over, here is how I'd currently rank them.

(1) Charlotte - only unbeaten team so #1 by default
(2) UAB - I think they're the best team but South Carolina showed that good defensive teams can shut them down a bit
(3) UNT - That NCAA win over Purdue last year will keep looking better and better
(4) La Tech - Probably will end up higher but injuries could be an issue
(5) FIU - Off to a solid 4-1 start with a couple of decent ones. Probably are better than people give them credit for.
(6) Marshall - Okay win over Wright State, but not super impressive besides that
(7) Rice - Would be much higher if they had been competitive with Houston. Their best player (Olivari) is hurt
(8) UTEP - Win at Pacific is okay win
(9) Florida Atlantic - Has played a fairly tough schedule. Heartbreaking loss to Miami at home.
(10) MTSU - Solid start against a poor schedule
(11) Western Kentucky - Super hard schedule, made tougher by not having all their players eligible yet
(12) Old Dominion - Really a brutal week but they should bounce back
(13) Southern Miss - Maybe the 2nd half against Lamar gets them going
(14) UTSA - Clearly last at this point. Lost two prolific scorers from the past 4 years.
