Highlights: CSJ FBS Group of Five Top Five Games of Week 6

The San Diego State defense limited Boise State to a total of 229 yards, 79 of which came with less than seven minutes remaining in the game in its 19-13 win in Boise.

The biggest game in the Group of Five in Week 6 was the Mountain West Conference showdown with San Diego State visiting Boise State. The Aztecs wen to Boise and pulled out a 19-13 defensive struggle game and now are positioned well to within the conference to win its division and host the MWC championship game in what might be a rematch with the Broncos.

Utah State won its non-conference road game at BYU and could have something say about the Mountain West race, as could Hawai’i which came from behind and held on at the end to defeat Wyoming.

Three American Athletic Conference teams took their undefeated records into action this week and all three remained without a blemish. UCF, South Florida, and Cincinnati all took wins this week and are actually the only three Group of Five teams in total to remain unscathed.

North Texas in Conference USA bounced back after a home loss to Louisiana Tech but just narrowly escaped an upset on the road at UTEP. That Louisiana Tech squad, however, lost at home to UAB, who now looks like it could be a force in the C-USA.

The MAC seems wide open still with Ohio coming from behind to get a much needed victory over Kent State, while Western Michigan defeated Eastern Michigan in the best two games from this week.

The Sun Belt had a number of teams on byes but Troy won easily over Georgia State in a Thursday night game.
