I remember coming on this sites prior to the new members first year and hearing fans warn that this will not be conference USA, don't expect to come into the BE and do as well, even heard how we would water the conference down. Well supposedly this is the best year ever for the conference and here are the standings:

2006 STANDINGS
Louisville 4 1 .800 9 1 .900
Rutgers 4 1 .800 9 1 .900
West Virginia 4 1 .800 9 1 .900
USF 3 3 .500 7 4 .636
Cincinnati 3 3 .500 6 5 .545
Pittsburgh 2 4 .333 6 5 .545
Connecticut 1 4 .200 4 6 .400
Syracuse 1 5 .167 4 7 .364
Through Nov. 22, 5:20 p.m. ET
