Get ready for some exciting college football action this week! CBS Sports Network has lined up four games, starting Thursday night. Sam Houston took the lead with a victory over UTEP, marking their fourth win in a row. On Friday, Kennesaw State will host Jacksonville State in a Conference USA matchup. This is a big deal for the Owls, as they're making their debut in the league after transitioning from FCS during the offseason.

Saturday kicks off at noon with UMass traveling to Northern Illinois. Right after that, UConn will host Temple. The Huskies are on fire right now, having won their last two games against FBS opponents by an average of 39 points! They're well on their way to making a bowl game appearance for the second time in three years under coach Jim Mora.

But let’s not forget about the other games. Northern Illinois, despite recent losses, is still in the running for the MAC race. Even though UMass is an independent team right now, this game serves as a preview of what's to come when they join the MAC in 2025. Snapping their six-game losing streak won’t be easy, but they do have a chance against a Huskies team that has faced tough games recently.
