All the schedule shuffles makes it difficult to find games that matter inside conferences but here I go.
Tulsa(5-0 AAC) trails Cincy, who they faces next week, by a half a game in the AAC . They may have to rely on back QB Brin Collins to eke out a win at Navy team and remain undefeated. Tulsa 25 Navy 22
Marshall(7-0, 4-0 CUSA) the so-so Rice Owls and should take care business with Knox rushing for over 100 yards. #herd 30 Rice 17
Western Michigan (4-0 MAC) should handle EMU and keep pace with Buffalo(5-0 MAC) . The E & E , Eleby and Eskridge, show will lead the way to 29 -22 WMU win.
Nevada suffered its first MAC loss to Hawaii last week while Fresno St has been on a roll. Jalen Cropper is a hot receiver for Fresno so I'll gamble he gets two TDs in a win Fresno St 36 Nevada 33
The national media is high on ULL, but I suspect App St isn't too happy after a tough loss to CCU. Zac Thomas roars back and throws two TD passes for APPY in a 31-30 win over ULL in Sunbelt action.

ULL 's snapper tried to give Appy the game, but the Cajuns hung for a 24-21 win and gave me an incorrect pick. Mountaineers' Chandler Staton missed a 30-yard FG with 2 seconds left that would've sent the game to OT.

I was certainly wrong on Marshall who got blanked 20-0 by Rice
yesterday. The Owls D was stellar with five INTs, one of which was a
pick6.
And lets keep rolling on my poor day yesterday. Eleby threw 4 TD passes for WMU, but EMU got three TD passes from P. Hutchinson and a great rushing performance from Daruis Boone (148 yards, 1TD) in a 53-43 win yesterday.
Carson Strong threw 5 TD passes for Nevada in a 37-26 over Fresno and its D kept.Jalen Cropper out of the end zone.
My sole correct pick was Tulsa who got a key 3rd quarter 66-yard touchdown pass from Zach Smith to Josh Johnson to earn a 19-6 victory.

An addendum due to a Sunday night CUSA game . #wku (5-6) has improved a great deal while Charlotte (2-4) has had a bouncy pandemic ride. Pagrome and Gaej Walker had solid games in the Hilltoppers' victory. wku 37 CHAR 19.
Nice 20-3 win for G Southern over an FAU team that usually scores a lot of points.
