SportzNutz 2006 Conference USA Football Preview

Central Florida is expected to be the dominant team in the C-USA, not only in the division, but in the entire league. That fact is the Golden Knights have 9 starters back on each side of the ball along with senior QB Steve Moffett has something to do with it. USM garnered virtually all the 2nd place votes. The last four teams in the East is a boat race, with opinions all over the board. In the West, UTEP and defending champion Tulsa actually tied, with the Miners earning the edge due to more 1st places votes. The other four teams in the South were nearly 100% in fixed positions. This conference is known for almost every team being very good as a home favorite or underdog.
