Conference USA Power Rankings Week 4: Bulldogs fall fast

Marshall has once again been voted by C-USA bloggers as the best team in the conference after week four, and for the first time a unanimous decision, while a bad loss (albeit a late one) sent Louisiana Tech into a tail spin. See the official rankings below, followed by how we voted here at Wave the Red Towel.

Here is how Wave the Red Towel submitted, plus a short explanation as to why.

Team	Rank	Previous Rank	Record	The Story So Far
	1	1	4-0	The Herd straight took it to another MAC opponent, and are looking scarier and scarier as conference play begins.
	2	7	3-1	ODU has a victory in their first ever C-USA game, plus they did it against the defending conference champs AND it was on the road. Thursday vs. MTBR will be interesting for sure.
	3	10	2-2	77 points, no matter the opponent, is impressive. Good job, North Texas
	4	11	2-2	Southern Miss was the only conference team to pull out a win in a close game. Kudos.
	5	3	2-1	The Blazers were idle, and no one around them really helped their cause to move ahead of them.
	6	5	2-1	See – above.
	7	4	2-2	MTBR all of a sudden have an interesting matchup on Thursday.
	8	6	1-2	I bet you the Tops would have found a way to lose this week, so I’m kind of glad they didn’t play. They’ll head to Annapolis to face the Midshipmen this weekend.
	9	1	1-2	Same story as the past few, they get a pass for not playing.
	10	9	1-3	FAU couldn’t come up with a win against the Cowboys, but it was close.
	11	2	2-2	Another C-USA team bites the dust against an FCS team. I don’t know if the fact that this came down to the wire makes it better or worse.
	12	12	0-3	Rice just isn’t having things go their way, and allowed ODU to walk into their place and send them to 0-3.
	13	13	1-3	FIU took on Louisville and went about as well as you thought it might.
