Two ranked matchups and a handful of conference rivalries are kicking off Week 6 of the college football season on Thursday and Friday night.

From the Oregon Ducks to the Syracuse Orange, teams across the country are taking the field over the first two nights of the week.

Here is the entire schedule of games fans can tune into on Thursday or Friday night:

FBS games on Thursday, Oct. 3

  • Texas State at Troy – 7 p.m. ET – ESPNU
  • Sam Houston State at UTEP – 9 p.m. ET – CBSSN

Texas State and Troy are preparing to square off in a Sun Belt matchup while Sam Houston and UTEP are preparing for a Conference-USA battle.

FBS games on Friday, Oct. 4
