Conference USA (CUSA) has established itself as a prominent entry point for Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) teams moving to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). With recent additions like Delaware and Missouri State, CUSA has welcomed numerous newcomers, despite facing significant team exits. The league continues to cultivate competitive talent, evident as recent titles were claimed by Liberty and Jacksonville State, highlighting potential surprises for the future. A preview of CUSA emphasizes the shifting landscape of college football amid realignment while exploring team performances and expectations leading into the upcoming 2025 season.
It's good to have a purpose in life. Conference USA's purpose is to serve as the official FBS welcome mat.
CUSA has at one point or another housed nearly a quarter of the 136 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
Two of these relative FBS newcomers have won the league the past two years -- Liberty and Jacksonville State.
On paper, Liberty graded out slightly ahead of the pack in SP+ last year.
