AAC: Cincy(8-0, 6-0 AAC) hosts Tulsa(6-1, 6-0 AAC) and will need to shake off some rust from the month layoff to slow down Zach Smith's passing . I suspect the Bearcats will rely on a solid rushing attack more than Ridder's arm for a 23-21 victory.
CUSA: Marshall(7-1, 4-1 CUSA) hosts UAB(5-3, 3-1 CUSA). Rice blanked the #herd two weeks ago and the lost to UAB. Johnston, the UAB QB, will toss two TD passes, in a 20-15 win .
MAC: Buffalo (5-0) led by Jared Patterson's 1625 rushing yards and 18 TDs faces Ball St led by Plitt's 1674 passing YDS and 13 TDs at Ford Field in Detroit, MI. Last team with the ball wins. Buff 37 Ball St 36.
MWC: Boise St(5-1, 5-0 MWC) faces San Jose St (6-0) in Vegas. Most folks expect a Bachmeier/Starkel shootout but I'll go with a huge rush game from Tyler Nevens giving SJST a 24 -20 victory of Boise St
SunBelt: The QBs, McCall of CCU(11-0, 8-0 SUN) and Lewis of ULL(9-1, 7-1 SUN), will entertain us, but McCall will toss late TDs to keep his guys undefeated . CCU 31 ULL 27

Sunbelt game was cancelled, and AAC and MWC games are today. I split on the other two. Wells, the #herd QB, matched Johnston's 2 TD passes for UAB with 2 TD passes, but Marshall's D couldn't stop Spencer Brown who rushed for 149 yards. UAB 22 Marshall 13
I didn't foresee Ball St knocking off Buffalo 38-28 and holding Patterson to 47 yards rushing. Blitt tossed three TD in for the Cards victory.

Correct on both games yesterday: Cincy eked out a 27-24 win over Tulsa. SJST used some rugged D, and an aerial attack led by Starkel to defeat Boise St 34-20 for the MWC crown.
