Power Ranking of C-USA Basketball Road Swings, or whatever they're called:

1. MTSU & UAB a combined 16-2 in conference play and #1 and #2 in the conference overall, this road swing is typically one of the toughest year after year. This year is no different.

2. Marshall & WKU when Marshall is hot they are hard to keep pace with. While WKU is having a rebuilding year, they are still a middle-top tier team in the conference.

3. Charlotte & ODU travelling to a corner of the conference is never easy, and the home environment of ODU is one of the toughest in the conference. Charlotte can be sneaky good at times.

4. LT & USM these guys would be higher as soon as USM can put together a solid campaign in the conference.

5. UTEP & UTSA surprisingly right in the middle of the CUSA race. UTEP is another tough home environment.

6. Rice & NT Rice is still young and trending up, not sure what to say about NT

7. FAU & FIU vacation anyone?
