Conference USA turned in another successful bowl season.
Two years ago after the tectonic plates of the college football world was done shifting, and teams were done moving from conference to conference, many pegged Conference USA as a major loser.
But after two years in their currently configured conference - UAB leaving and Charlotte joining this year aside - this bowl season proved once again that C-USA won't be falling into the abyss that many believed the conference was destined to reside.
Conference USA: 3-2
Best Win: Western Kentucky over South Florida
Biggest Disappointment: Middle Tennessee State
Stock Market: Rising
For the second straight season the Conference USA champion won their bowl game as WKU defeated USF in the Miami Beach Bowl.
