Missouri State (4-3) wraps up October with its first home weekday C-USA game, welcoming FIU (3-4) Wednesday night. The Bears are coming off a thrilling 24-17 overtime win at New Mexico State, which gave the program its first back-to-back victories against FBS opponents. Quarterback Jacob Clark returned from injury last week to tie the program record for most career passing touchdowns (47). This marks the first-ever meeting between Missouri State and FIU. The Panthers look to avoid another 1-3 start against C-USA opponents.

It continues to be a difficult season for Sam Houston (0-7) and first-year coach Phil Longo. The seven-game losing streak to start the season is one defeat shy of matching the program's start in 2023, the Bearkats' first year in the FBS. As for Louisiana Tech (4-3), it's trying to climb back above .500 in conference play after consecutive losses to C-USA title contenders. Quarterback Blake Baker set career highs in completions (31), pass attempts (45) and passing yards (340) in last week's overtime loss to Western Kentucky. He could have another big game against a Sam Houston pass defense that ranks last in C-USA this season.

UAB vs. UConn

Date: Saturday, Nov. 1 | Time: 12 p.m.
Location: Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field -- East Hartford, Connecticut
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder

Spread: UConn -11.5 | Will the Huskies cover? Check out SportsLine's Week 10 projections here

UAB (3-4) had an extra week to savor its upset win against Memphis under interim coach Alex Mortensen, but now returns off a bye for a road trip to UConn (5-3), which saw its four-game winning streak snapped in a double-overtime loss at Rice last Saturday. When the Blazers take the field in Week 10, it'll be more than 1,500 days since they last won consecutive games in a season. Huskies quarterback Joe Fagnano remains the only FBS player with at least 210 pass attempts and zero interceptions this season.

Delaware vs. Liberty

Date: Saturday, Nov. 1 | Time: 3:30 p.m.
Location: Williams Stadium -- Lynchburg, Virginia
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder
Live stream: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports App
Spread: Liberty -3.5 | Will the Flames cover? Check out SportsLine's Week 10 projections here

Although Liberty (3-4) still has an overall losing record, the Flames are in the C-USA title hunt with a chance to string together their third consecutive win when hosting Delaware (4-3). A healthy Ethan Vasko has energized the Liberty offense after scoring a season-high 30 points in a win at New Mexico State in Week 8. The Flames will need another strong showing to keep pace with Delaware and quarterback Nick Minicucci, arguably the top passer in C-USA this season.

Wyoming vs. San Diego State

Date: Saturday, Nov. 1 | Time: 7 p.m.
Location: Snapdragon Stadium -- San Diego, California
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder
Live stream: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports App
Spread: San Diego State -11.5 | Will the Aztecs cover? Check out SportsLine's Week 10 projections here

San Diego State (6-1) could be a serious College Football Playoff contender if they keep up a dominant defensive performance. The Aztecs got their third shutout of the season last week at Fresno State and now face a Wyoming (4-4) offense that is third-worst in the Mountain West in points per game (21.0). The Cowboys have a respectable defense of their own, allowing just 19.8 points per game, which is second in the conference behind San Diego State.

Hawaii vs. San Jose State

Date: Saturday, Nov. 1 | Time: 7 p.m.
Location: CEFCU Stadium -- San Jose, California
TV: CBS Sports Network [Channel finder
Live stream: CBSSports.com | Mobile: CBS Sports App
Spread: San Jose State -2.5 | Will the Spartans cover? Check out SportsLine's Week 10 projections here

Hawaii (6-2) is already bowl eligible for the first time in five seasons as fourth-year coach Timmy Chang has built one of the program's most balanced and explosive teams. Redshirt freshman quarterback Micah Alejado ranks 10th nationally in passing yards per game (292.8) as he prepares to face San Jose State (2-5) and its experienced quarterback Walker Eget. The veteran passer ranks fifth in the FBS in passing yards per game (307.0) and hasn't thrown an interception since Week 2 at Texas.
