As college football season plunges into November, conference title races are heating up and so is the push for bowl eligibility. Those aspirations will be on display on CBS Sports Network during Week 10, as the network hosts a MAC game on Tuesday and three conference clashes in a Saturday tripleheader.
The action started Tuesday night as Akron hosted Ball State in a cross-division MAC showdown. The Cardinals moved to 5-4 on the season with a thrilling 31-25 win over the Zips.
Saturday’s slate begins at noon Eastern, when UAB and Louisiana Tech square off in a game that could get wild. The Bulldogs have been involved in several tight games this season while UAB has been unpredictably alternating between comfortable victories and blowout or upset losses during a 5-3 start. In the afternoon, Wyoming will look to get back above .500 on the season when it hosts a Colorado State team that is at risk of missing a bowl for the fourth straight season. Finally, the nightcap is a Mountain West showdown between No. 25 Fresno State and Boise State. The Bulldogs found their way to the top of the West Division by knocking off previously unbeaten San Diego State last week but will need a win over the Broncos to maintain that position.
Here is the full rundown of all the Week 10 action on CBS Sports Network with all times Eastern.
Louisiana Tech at UAB

Storylines: It’s been a frustrating season for Louisiana Tech, which has lost three games by three points or less, including a 23-20 defeat at Old Dominion last week. But the Bulldogs (2-6, 1-3 C-USA) can make a statement against UAB by knocking off one of the league’s heavyweights for the second straight year. UAB (5-3, 3-1) was upset by Rice in its last game, but the Blazers are still in the running for the C-USA West title. The Bulldogs won last season’s meeting 37-34 in overtime after rallying from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
Colorado State at Wyoming
Date: Saturday, Nov. 6 | Time: 3:30 p.m.
Location: War Memorial Stadium — Laramie, Wyoming
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder]
Live stream: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports App
Spread: Colorado State -3.5 | Will the Rams cover the spread? Check out SportsLine’s Week 10 college football projections here.
Storylines: After scoring just 38 points during a four-game losing streak, Wyoming (4-4, 0-4 Mountain West) will look to get its first league victory against a Colorado State team that has also been struggling. The Rams (3-5, 2-2) have dropped two straight after getting outscored 21-3 in the second half of a 28-19 loss to Boise State last week. Colorado State snapped a four-game losing streak in the series with a 34-24 win last season.
Boise State at No. 25 Fresno State
Date: Saturday, Nov. 6 | Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Bulldog Stadium — Fresno, California
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder]
Live stream: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports App
Spread: Fresno State -5 | Will the Bulldogs cover the spread? Check out SportsLine’s Week 10 college football projections here.
Storylines: Three of the last five meetings between these Mountain West foes have come in league championship games, and the last three meetings were decided by a touchdown or less. The Broncos (4-4, 2-2 Mountain West) are down a bit this season under first-year coach Andy Avalos but should still provide a tough test for the high-flying No. 25 Bulldogs (7-2, 4-1). A win here would move Fresno State within two victories of a guaranteed appearance in the league title game.
