The final week of college football’s regular season is finally here, and it promises to deliver some drama as teams look to enter the postseason — or the offseason — on a high note. As part of the action, CBS Sports Network will televise five games from around the country over the course of the weekend.
Up first are a couple of Friday showdowns as the action heats up the day after Thanksgiving with Eastern Michigan hosting Central Michigan and Colorado State hosting New Mexico. Then on Saturday, the network will carry three more games as both Conference USA and the Mountain West will be in action.
Florida Atlantic will host Western Kentucky at noon ET in a high-stakes Conference USA contest to kick things off. Then UAB travels to Louisiana Tech looking to reach bowl eligibility in the afternoon. Finally, the day’s action concludes with San Diego State hosting Air Force in a battle of quality Mountain West foes.
It should be another captivating weekend of football. Here is the full rundown of all the Week 13 action on CBS Sports Network. All times Eastern
