Week 7: Five Must-Watch Group of Five Games

This week's Group of Five games are not as good as previous weeks. However, they are still worth watching. Alabama-Tennessee, Penn State-Michigan, Oklahoma State -TCU, NC State - Syracuse, Clemson - Florida State, and USC - Utah are the top five games to watch.

Coastal Carolina is 6-0 to start the season, but the Chanticleers are just 2-3-1 against the spread. Old Dominion is 2,3, 1- 0 in the Sun Belt East, and they had a bye week to prepare for Coastal.

Kent State plays Toledo on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET. Toledo pummeled Northern Illinois last week. Quinyon Mitchell intercepted four passes and returned two for touchdowns. Kent State's 2-4 record doesn't tell the full story.

Western Kentucky plays Middle Tennessee on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET. The Blue Raiders have lost two conference games in a row. Western Kentucky is favored by about a touchdown.

JMU and Georgia Southern are playing each other on Saturday at 4 p.m. ET. JMU has just broken into the AP top 25 this week. GeorgiaSouthern has lost a pair of Sun Belt games in a row.

Memphis and ECU are playing each other on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET. ECu is favored by five points.

Air Force at UNLV is one of the top Mountain West games of this week. Bennett Conlin is a college football contributor for HERO Sports.

Liberty Eyes 10-0 Record With First Game Against Team Outside CUSA, MAC

Liberty football is undefeated, but the team's strength of schedule has the Flames on the outside of the College Football Playoff top 25. With Tulane in the ranking at No. 23, Liberty will need help the rest of the season to have any shot at a New Year's Six Bowl game. The Flames have a chance to make arguably their loudest statement of the season…

Conference USA Preview: Can Anyone Touch Western Kentucky?

Nine teams. As mentioned above, four teams are joining C-USA this year, and five have departed. Even after Kennesaw State in the Atlanta area officially joins in 2024, the conference is still looking to expand in the future and may look towards FCS schools like Eastern Kentucky, Missouri State, and Tarleton State in Texas. In many ways, the…

Jacksonville State Win Total: JSU Plenty Capable of 5-Win 2023 Season

Jacksonville State embarks on an eight-game CUSA schedule in 2023, an exciting challenge for the program. The Gamecocks were productive at the FCS level, making the national championship game in 2015. Before that, the Gamecocks won a Division II national title in 1992. Playing at the FBS level presents a larger test for the program, but it enters…

Liberty Football Preview: Odds, Schedule, & Prediction

Liberty started the 2022 season strong. Now in Conference USA, the Flames will want to rebound after ending last year the way they did. The Flames began the season with a four-overtime win over Southern Miss and won eight of their first nine games, including at Arkansas. Their only loss during that time was a one-point defeat at Wake Forest. But…

Group of Five Bowl Season Best Bets Part 2

I went 3-2 overall during my first segment of the bowl game Group of Five best bets. I'm kicking myself for going against Western Kentucky, which throttled South Alabama. The Hilltoppers are better than I gave them credit for this season, and they could be solid again in 2023. The 3-2 week of bets moves me to 40-35 (53.3%) on the season. Not…

Group of Five Underdog of the Week: Coastal Carolina

Group of Five Underdog of the Week: Coastal Carolina

We can sweep last week's selection under the rug as Western Kentucky didn't come close to covering in a loss to Auburn. The Hilltoppers still don't play well in big games. We should have rolled with Navy for the second week in a row. It's on to this week though, where there should be a ton of close games and a lot of intrigue as teams try to bulk…

Week 9 of the college football season is here, and there's still a glaring lack of clarity in a few Group of Five conference title races. That should make for an exciting month of November, but first, we have one weekend of October college football remaining. It should be a good one across the Group of Five, and I'll highlight five games I believe…

Week 4 Sun Belt Power Poll: Regression Arrives in the Fun Belt

One of my ironclad rules of college football betting is that no one escapes regression to the mean. Coaches lie; statistics don't. The Sun Belt had a wondrous Week 2 across the college football landscape, but the conference fell back to earth with a series of close calls and underwhelming results. With that in mind, here's my take on Week 4 power…
