Sunday's prediction: C-USA West projected order of finish
1: Tulsa (very ambitious non-conference schedule including Boise State and Oklahoma, this is a very consistent program with an average defense and a very above-average offense, I think they can score 28 at OU...maybe)
2: Houston (the media favorite to win the West, we just haven't seen the consistency from them that we have seen at Tulsa to name them the favorite going into the season)
3: Rice (new OC, but typically a very explosive attack: I like the non-conference scheduling here too with Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Vanderbilt, and Navy)
4: UTEP (they gave Texas a solid first quarter last season, not sure it'll happen again but they do get to host Kansas in week 2)
5: SMU (baby steps, baby steps, still a long ways to get back to the SMU of the 80's, but also no recruiting violations!)
6: Tulane (two of the three hardest games to start the season: Tulsa and BYU, at least they are both at home, they also get to go to LSU later in the season, yeah!)
