Tuesday CFB: Rich Rod gets Jax State to 6-2 in year 1 of FBS play

6:00PM
Middle Tennessee (2-5) at Liberty (6-0) - CBSSN

Rick Stockstill has more lives than a cat but surely needs to have a better 2nd half of the season if he wants to make it to season 19 in Murfreesboro. Liberty is undefeated and will be the favorite in every game remaining on their schedule but unlike in years past their SOS has taken a nosedive as a member of CUSA. THey need to start blowing out teams if they want to get that G5 NY6 game.

6:30pm
Southern Miss (1-5) at South Alabama (3-3) - ESPN2

Southern Miss has lost 5 straight since opening the year w/a win against Alcorn but the last 3 have all been close games that were winnable. South Alabama had high hopes going into the season and looked like a possible NY6 G5 team but losses to Tulane, James Madison, and Central Michigan (coached by shark enthusiast Jim McElwain) have dashes those hopes. They can still win the SBC West though so they can't afford a slip up.


Western Kentucky (4-2) at Jacksonville State (5-2) - ESPNU

Game of the day which is something I don't think anyone would have thought at the start of the year. WKU's only losses have been to Ohio State and a close game at Troy. They have Liberty next week so they can't get caught looking ahead. Jacksonville State is one of the surprises of the year as I don't think anyone would have expected Rich Rodriguez to be at 5-2 and playing well enough that media members would be starting to call out the NCAA on it's ludicrous no bowl for transition teams rule.
