It begins in the noon ET slate when Army West Point, fresh off a stunning upset victory at Air Force in Week 10, goes for a second consecutive victory against Holy Cross. Navy then hosts UAB as part of American Athletic Conference play in the afternoon window before the Mountain West takes center stage.

Spread: Bowling Green -10 | Will the Falcons cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 11 projections here
The Falcons and Golden Flashes are on opposite trajectories entering the stretch run of the 2023 campaign. Bowling Green has won four of its last five games after a 1-3 start, whereas Kent State hasn’t won a game since beating Central Connecticut for its lone victory of the season back on Sept. 16. The Golden Flashes are averaging 14.2 points scored and 32.8 points surrendered per game, marks that are both last in the MAC. Kent State can find some confidence in having won each of the last five meetings in the series, but it will be hard-pressed to make it six wins in a row against the Falcons.
Holy Cross at Army
Date: Saturday, Nov. 11 | Time: Noon
Location: Michie Stadium — West Point, New York
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder]
Live stream: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports App (Free)
This will be just the second matchup between the Crusaders and Black Knights within the last 30 years and the first since 2002. Army’s 23-3 victory at previously-undefeated Air Force in Week 10 was seemingly out of nowhere; the Black Knights had lost five straight and scored a total of 14 points in their last three games before dominating the Falcons on the road from start to finish. Army didn’t exactly light up the scoreboard, but a 6-0 edge in the turnover battle did all the talking. Now comes a chance for coach Jeff Monken’s group to continue a potential late-season turnaround back on home turf.
UAB at Navy
Date: Saturday, Nov. 11 | Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
Location: Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium — Annapolis, Maryland

Spread: UAB -3 | Will the Blazers cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 11 projections here
UAB is in its first season of AAC membership, so it’s not a surprise that this marks the first meeting between the Blazers and the Midshipmen. UAB, which is in its first season under coach Trent Dilfer, lost six of seven before getting back in the win column with a 45-42 victory against FAU in Week 10. It was the second-highest scoring output of the year for the Blazers. UAB’s offense will be challenged Saturday by a Navy defense that ranks third in the AAC at 23.4 points allowed on average. The Mids can be grateful for that defensive success in their first season under coach Brian Newberry given the offensive struggles at hand. Navy ranks No. 12 n the conference at an average of 18.3 points per game.
San Diego State at Colorado State
Date: Saturday, Nov. 11 | Time: 7 p.m. ET
Location: Canvas Stadium — Fort Collins, Colorado

Spread: Colorado State -4 | Will the Rams cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 11 projections here
This is a do-or-die matchup for in terms of bowl eligibility. The Aztecs and Rams are both 3-6 and must win out in order to reach six wins. San Diego State has lost two straight games and six of its last seven; Colorado State is on a three-game skid and has lost four of five. The Aztecs’ last two losses — both at home and in one-score games — were particularly excruciating. They suffered a 6-0 loss to previously-winless Nevada in Week 8 and then dropped a double-overtime thriller to Utah State in Week 10 after a bye in Week 9. The good news is that one team will see bowl hopes survive into Week 12, though the work will be far from finished.
Fresno State at San Jose State
Date: Saturday, Nov. 11 | Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
Location: CEFCU Stadium — San Jose, California
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder]

Spread: Fresno State -1 | Will the Bulldogs cover? Check out SportsLine’s Week 11 projections here
Expect a tight contest between two in-state foes who know this game is a must-have when it comes to Mountain West championship hopes. The Bulldogs and Spartans are rather evenly matched and boast two of the league’s better scoring offenses. Fresno State ranks third in the MWC at 34 points per game, and San Jose State is right behind at an average of 33 points. Key for the Spartans’ chances of an upset is a defense that ranks No. 15 nationally at the FBS level against the pass, holding opponents to 178.8 yards through the air on average. That could present issues for a Bulldogs offense that likes to air it out, averaging nearly 300 passing yards per game.
