I'm going to post every two weeks on Tuesday or Wednesday the rankings for all 14 teams in Conference USA for various categories.  This won't be a direct representation of how "good" or "bad" a team actually is but it could be a leading indicator.  These rankings are pulled from the ESPN NCAA Men's Team Statistics pages that I presume are updated constantly as games are completed.  This will be out of 351 Division 1 schools playing Basketball.  The number in parenthesis represents the number of games played.
