RE: ESPN's 2022 Conference USA Preview
UTEP is 5th in this projection and UNT 4th. The Miners don't play UAB or WKU so using this info UTEP would be expected to be 6-2 in conference play, losing to UNT and UTSA. I would expect UTEP to go 2-2 in OOC play, losing at Oklahoma and vs Boise State but beating NMSU and UNM. The home opener in week zero vs UNT is my upset call in conference play. Having the Mean Green at home to open the season is a big opportunity for UTEP to potentially have a 9 win season. Can't wait!

2022 projections

TEAM SP+ RK OFF. DEF. AVG. W CONF. W BOWL ODDS
Florida Atlantic 100 87 101 5.5 4.0 50%
Charlotte 111 49 131 4.7 3.5 29%
Middle Tennessee 104 104 91 5.2 3.5 42%
Louisiana Tech 114 105 111 4.4 3.2 23%
Florida Int'l 124 115 127 4.1 1.8 17%
Rice 125 126 121 2.5 1.6 1%

Sustaining momentum is really difficult, as 2021 proved, but 2022 could also prove you're never that far away from a rally. All it takes is some close wins: FAU, Charlotte, MTSU and Louisiana Tech all play in at least five relative tossups -- games SP+ projects within 7.5 points one way or the other -- and FAU, Charlotte and MTSU each return experience and intriguing talent at the quarterback position. That certainly helps in close games.

(FIU and Rice are, shall we say, a bit further from a rally.)

I don't understand the ranking UTEP is 103; FAU is 100; Charlotte is 111; MTSU is 104. What is the defining ranking?

One is the expected order of finish in conference play and the other is a computer ranking. Who you have to play factors in to expected finish.
