Conference USA play is in full swing.
Although the CUSA brand name has been around for decades, the league is the most unidentifiable in college football right now. Three members departed prior to the 2022 season, six members fled to the AAC this summer, and only five incumbent members returned for 2023. To recoup the losses, the conference added independents Liberty and New Mexico State as well as Jacksonville State and Sam Houston from the FCS to create a refurbished 9-team conference.
Currently, Liberty, Jacksonville State, and Louisiana Tech are tied atop the CUSA standings with 2-0 records.
