Another loaded schedule comes to CBS Sports Network in Week 6 of the college football season brings as conference play heats up across the nation with five league games over the next two days. The AAC, MAC and Mountain West will take the spotlight on the network, starting late Friday night when San Jose State hosts UNLV in a battle of teams that are off to hot starts.
Saturday’s marathon begins with a MAC battle between in-state foes as Eastern Michigan travels to take on Western Michigan after both teams picked up wins in Week 5. In the afternoon, Tulsa travels to take on Navy as both AAC teams look to bounce back from losses a week ago.
The evening slate brings a pair of Mountain West games, starting with New Mexico hosting Wyoming and then concluding with San Diego State taking on Hawaii. As we creep towards the midway point of the 2022 college football season, the intensity should only increase, and these league games should deliver as the contenders seek to separate themselves.
