East Division Game of the Week
Maybe you thought it was a nightmare but, Middle Tennessee State used a last second touchdown as time expired to beat Marshall 51-49 at home Thursday night.
East Division Game to Watch Next Week
Not a lot of great match-ups this upcoming week in Conference USA's Eastern division but, beyond ECU visiting Marshall the day after Thanksgiving are their any games worth watching?
Either way, we can't let a few bad options prevent us from picking the best of the worst. How about MTSU at UAB? No, the Blazers are not very good but, it will be interesting to see if Middle Tennessee can go on the road and stay within striking distance of Marshall and ECU for the division lead.
West Division Standings
1) Tulane: 6-2, 4-0
2) Rice: 6-2, 4-0
3) N.Texas: 5-3, 3-1
4) La.Tech: 3-5, 2-2
5) UTSA: 3-5, 2-2
4) Tulsa: 2-5, 1-2
7) UTEP: 1-6, 0-4
West Division Game of the Week
Tulane continued to prove its a contender, defeating Tulsa 14-7 at home while becoming bowl eligible in the process.
West Division Game to Watch Next Week
Make sure you are watching Fox Sports 1 Thursday night as North Texas host Rice. With a win the Mean Green would enter the division championship picture. On the other sideline, Rice has arguably been C-USA's best team this year but, they can ill-afford a loss as Tulane is also undefeated in conference play.
