2011 NCAA Conference Previews Part 3

-Conference USA-

Predicted Finish
EAST

1.Central Florida
-UCF ended last year on a great note and i think that momentum along with the return of QB Jeff Goddfrey and RB Latavius Murray will help them win the East division.
2.Southern Mississippi
-I think Southern Miss has the potential to make some noise in this division and that has a lot to do with dual threat Quarterback Austin Davis. If the defense can improve, watch out for this team.
3.East Carolina
4.Marshall
5.UAB
6.Memphis


WEST

1.Tulsa
-I think this West division is full of good teams but i expect Tulsa to be the team to come out on top. This team returns QB GJ Kinne behind the entire offensive line from last year as well as All-American receiver Damaris Johnson. If the defense plays better than Houston's defense then this team will celebrating a conference title.
2.Houston
-It is not easy to pick against QB Case Keenum, a guy who puts up Heisman type numbers, but the departure of 3 offensive lineman and a defense that gives up too many big plays is the reason i have them at #2. Having said that, with good receivers and a star back in Bryce Beall, this Houston Cougars is more than capable of taking this conference.
3.SMU
4.Rice
5.Tulane
6.Utep


-Player of the Year-
QB Case Keenum, Houston

-Best Conference Games-
Tulsa @ UCF, November 5th
Houston @ Tulsa, November 26th
