I expect 2 CUSA teams to end up in the top 25

UCF for sure and Tulsa should get there.

That is what we need to shoot for next season.

That would be a very good result for C-USA. I really do feel like the quality of C-USA football is rapidly improving. The problem is that there is a certain amount of parity. It seems like the usual recipe for non-AQ conferences to crack the BCS is for there to be one school that is head and shoulders above the rest. I fear that a C-USA with 5 or 6 quality programs (SMU, UH, Tulsa, UCF, ECU, USM) will feed on itself and hinder the chances of one school breaking through. But I also feel like there is a decent chance of 2 or maybe even 3 C-USA schools cracking the top-25 next season.

Drop Tulane and UAB, bring in two others.

I was very impressed by that Tulsa team this year.

Tulsa was quite formidable when their receivers were catching the ball, like they did with prolific efficiency against Hawaii. If they had hit like that against SMU, it would have been something akin to their game against Memphis - not pretty at all for us...

In the case of our game with Tulsa, it was the QB overthrowing and not the receivers dropping, as I recall.

It is a case of us beating them 3 of the last 4 years. They should be more worried about us than us them.

It will be interesting to see how UCF does early on vs Boston College and @ UT.

Tulsa loses two, if not three, of its top receivers.
