Conference USA Midseason College Football Predictions: Every Game, Record, and Bowl Teams for 2024

Conference USA has its own niche.

It might have sent a team to the New Year's Six game last year - and Liberty is sort of in the hunt again this time around for a College Football Playoff spot - but for the most part it remains a tad off the grid.

It'll likely get only four teams into bowl games, but Sam Houston, WKU, Jacksonville State, and the aforementioned Liberty are all good enough to potentially do some damage.

For the most part, though, the conference is about rebuilding. Middle Tennessee, UTEP, and New Mexico State all are working through new coaches, Kennesaw State is struggling in the step up in weight class, and FIU and Louisiana Tech are trying to push through.

At the midseason, here's our call on how every remaining game will go, who'll play for the Conference USA championship - going a tad off the grid here - what's going to happen the rest of the way.
