Week 6 gets an early start with Air Force hosting Navy at 11:30 a.m. ET which is breakfast time out in the Mountain time zone, but I guess if you want to be on regular CBS you have to play by their rules. The other early game is when Boise State travels to Hattiesburg, Miss., to take on Southern Miss for a 12 p.m. ET kick, so both of those games will be interesting to see how both teams play.

Now it is time to rank the games:
1. Navy at Air Force: Mainly just because it is on CBS, and because it is part of the Commander-In-Chief trophy which trumps pretty much every other game.
2. Wyoming at Nevada: Calling for a possible upset alert here, just because Nevada's secondary is not very good. If Wyoming quarterback Brett Smith is on then this game could turn into a shoot out.
3. Texas State at New Mexico: This is a good chance for New Mexico to win their third game of the season, which would be one more than the amount of wins that former head coach Mike Locksley earned in his two-plus years on the job.
4. UNLV at Louisiana Tech: Make no mistake, Louisiana Tech is for real, and this game will give UNLV a chance to see how far they have come. This will be their toughest game they have played all year.
5. Fresno State at Colorado State: Fresno State should roll, but we will get to see how good Colorado State M.J. McPeek will be in his first start.
6. Hawai'i at San Diego State: San Diego State should just roll in this game, and not play to the level of their competition. The Aztecs must do so to prove that they are a possible threat to Boise State, Fresno State and Nevada.
