Week 6 of the college football season brings the beginning of mid-week action, and that includes the CBS Sports Network slate where there will be six games across four days on the network. That starts Wednesday night at 7 p.m. ET when Jacksonville State heads to Kennesaw State for a rematch of last year's Conference USA title game that the Gamecocks won.
On Thursday, Missouri State will travel to Western Kentucky at 7 p.m. for another CUSA conference tilt between a pair of one-win teams desperate to keep their dreams of a bowl game alive. Friday night brings us to the West Coast for a Mountain West matchup between Wyoming and San Jose State. A Saturday tripleheader of service academy football begins at noon in West Point, where Army will host Tulane in a battle of 2-2 teams in the American.
Then at 3:30 p.m., it'll be Navy hosting Tulsa with both teams looking for their first wins in AAC play. The nightcap comes at 7:30 p.m. when Northern Illinois hosts Air Force in their first meeting as Mountain West foes. CBS Sports Network will carry all four games, with full viewing info, betting lines and key storylines to follow as Week 6 unfolds.

Jacksonville State is 3-2 overall and 1-0 in conference play, as their hopes of a third straight CUSA title remain alive. Kennesaw State, meanwhile, is 1-3 overall entering conference play and is hoping some familiarity with conference foes can start a midseason turnaround.
The Gamecocks are slight road favorites, but the Owls should be up for this one knowing that a win can keep their goals in front of them while a loss puts a bowl bid in jeopardy.

Smith Stadium -- Bowling Green, KentuckyTV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder] Live stream: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports AppSpread: Western Kentucky -2.5 The CUSA action continues with two teams trying to claw their way out of the basement of the conference standings.
Both teams have yet to get a win in FBS play, and will be looking at this game as one of their best chances to build some positive momentum. The Hilltoppers have been road weary this season with four of their first five games on the road, and will hope some home-cooking serves them well after a rough start. Missouri State, meanwhile, has hung tough with the likes of Marshall and SMU the last two weeks and hope that is the precursor for a midseason run.
