Conference USA (FBS Group Of Five)
Overview: The 2022 season was the "Year of the Roadrunners". The UTSA Roadrunners, that is.
In their final campaign of what will soon be a new-look Conference USA, UTSA finished the season undefeated at 8-0 in C-USA action en route to a final overall record of 11-3. The Roadrunners only losses came in non-conference play, losing to Big 12-bound Houston, 37-35, in triple overtime, to SEC-bound Texas, 41-20, and 18-12 to Troy at the Cure Bowl in Orlando.
UTSA was one of six C-USA teams to qualify for bowl eligibility last fall, with Rice and North Texas falling short in the Lending Tree and Frisco Bowls, respectively, while Middle Tennessee State (Hawai'i), UAB (Bahamas), and Western Kentucky (New Orleans) all ended their seasons with bowl wins.
The 2023 season, however, will bring about significant changes in Conference USA's make-up, with Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UAB, and UTSA all leaving for the American Athletic Conference. Replacing those aforementioned institutions will be soon-to-be former FCS powers Jacksonville State and Sam Houston State, as well as soon-to-be former independents Liberty and New Mexico State.
Additionally, after this current round of realignment is said and done, the only remaining teams that will join the newcomers to C-USA this upcoming season will be FIU, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, UTEP, and Western Kentucky. That will give this constantly-changing conference nine squads taking the football field this fall.
