Conference USA now has enough teams to fill its six bowl positions. It’s a decided East slant, as four of the six are UCF, East Carolina, Memphis and Southern Miss. In the West, just Houston and Tulsa will play in the postseason. Here’s a look at Saturday’s action. Click on the link to go to the hometown paper stories.

MEMPHIS 25, UAB 9: In recent years, the Tigers have had problems with Southern Miss and UAB. Last week, the Golden Eagles fell in Hattiesburg. This week, the Blazers went down, giving Memphis six wins, enough for one of Conference USA’s bowl berths. UAB coach Neil Callaway couldn’t find the right formation to stop the Tigers’ running game.

TULANE 45, RICE 31: Matt Forte didn’t quite get to 200 yards, but he surpassed 2,000 for the season for the winners. Penalties and mistakes cost the Owls again.

HOUSTON 35, MARSHALL 28: The Cougars need some help from Rice this coming week. Houston returns to the C-USA championship game if the Owls can beat Tulsa. Thundering Herd coach Mark Snyder knows this one could have gone the other way.

UCF 49, SMU 20: Only UTEP stands in the way of the Golden Knights reaching their second C-USA title game. Kevin Smith caused all kinds of trouble for the Mustangs.

SOUTHERN MISS 56, UTEP 30: What would Conference USA football be like without an 80-point game? It was wild for the Golden Eagles. The loss was the fifth straight for the struggling Miners.

TULSA 49, ARMY 39: The Golden Hurricane was unfocused, but victorious.
