The last weekend of the Conference USA season and the participants in the C-USA Championship game on December 4th is still in question. The title is at stake. Here’s what needs to happen for the front runners to win the C-USA West Division:

SMU (5-2) –– controls its own destiny to win the West Division Championship. The Mustangs can win the West outright with a win over East Carolina and a Tulsa loss to Southern Miss. SMU also win the West Division Championship if it ends regular-season in a tie with Tulsa due to owning the tiebreaker over the Golden Hurricane.

TULSA (5-2) –– needs to defeat Southern Miss and have SMU lose its final game of the season to East Carolina (for a total of three Mustang losses) to win the West Division.
