Spread: Freedom -1.5 | Will the Flames cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 10 projections here
Speaking of Liberty, the Flames fizzled out — spectacularly — in Week 9. Thanks in part to a weak schedule and the rise of Group of Five teams elsewhere, Liberty’s playoff hopes looked thin at the start of the season. They’re now nonexistent thanks to a 27-24 loss to Kennesaw State — the same Kennesaw State that left the FCS in the offseason and has yet to win against an FBS program at this level. Liberty had looked pretty uninspiring all year, highlighted by close wins over the likes of New Mexico State and FIU, and it all caught up to the Flames. Jacksonville State, meanwhile, has been on a different trajectory. It was easy to dismiss the Gamecocks amid an 0-3 start to the 2024 campaign, but they have slowly worked their way to the top of the C-USA standings with a 3-0 mark in league play thus far. A win against Liberty would still resonate.
Georgia State at UConn
Date: Friday November 1st | Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Pratt & Whitney Stadium – East Hartford, Connecticut

Spread: UConn-7.5 | Will the Huskies cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 10 projections here
UConn is real this year. The Huskies are just one win away from earning bowl eligibility for the second time in three years under coach Jim L. Mora. The Huskies haven’t played in two bowl games in three years since 2008-10. They’ll have a good chance of securing their playoff fate against Georgia State, although it won’t be easy. After all, this is the same Panthers team that beat Vanderbilt. But since then, sledding hasn’t been easy. Georgia State is on a four-game losing streak and is still looking for its first win in the Sun Belt Conference. During that span, the Panthers are averaging less than 21 points per game.
Buffalo in Akron
Date: Saturday November 2 | Time: Noon
Location: InfoCision Stadium – Akron, Ohio
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder]
Live broadcast: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports app (free)
Spread: Ox -1.5 | Will the Bulls cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 10 projections here
The race for the Mid-American Conference championship game will come down to the wire. Buffalo is just outside the top tier with a 2-2 conference record so far, but the Bulls are still within earshot. Obviously, their margin for error is slim and they cannot avoid any mistakes. They certainly can’t look beyond Akron, although a 2-6 record suggests the Zips may not be the toughest opponent to face. Akron upset Eastern Michigan in Week 9, picking up its first conference win while scoring a season-high (against at least FBS opponents) 25 points.
Middle Tennessee at UTEP
Date: Saturday November 2 | Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
Location: Solar Bowl – El Paso, Texas
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder]
Live broadcast: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports app (free)
Spread: UTEP-3 | Will the miners cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 10 projections here
Although neither Middle Tennessee nor UTEP are involved in the Conference USA race, a win here would put either team firmly in the middle of the standings – at least for now. The Blue Raiders and Miners haven’t had much success this year. They have a combined record of 2-7 in conference play. MTSU’s lone win came against Kennesaw State, while UTEP upset FIU a few weeks ago to give young coach Scotty Walden the first FBS victory of his career. Don’t expect a ton of points. UTEP ranks eighth in Conference USA in scoring offense at 17 points per game, while Middle Tennessee is not far behind at ninth at 16.9 points per game.
State of Colorado in Nevada
Date: Saturday November 2 | Time: 8 p.m. ET
Location: Mackay Stadium – Reno, Nevada

Spread: Colorado State -1 | Will the Rams cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 10 projections here
Colorado State is, quietly, right in the heart of the Mountain West Conference race. While the focus has been on programs like No. 15 Boise State and UNLV, which earned its first AP ranking in program history earlier in the year, the Rams are off to a 3-0 start in championship and are one of only three teams, along with the Broncos and San Diego State, that remain intact. Nevada is the opposite. It looked like the Wolf Pack was on the verge of turning a corner with the Oct. 12 win over Oregon State, but then they lost two straight MWC games and, in Week 9, lost by 21 points against a Hawaii team that had not yet won. a conference game.
