G6 Week 11 schedule and early lines: Six ranked matchups, a Pac-12 clinch game and a 76.5 over/under in the Alamodome

Six ranked Diehard G6 Top 25 matchups headline the G6 Week 11 slate — the most ranked-vs-ranked action of the season for the second straight week.

The headliner is No. 3 North Texas (7-2, 5-0 American) at No. 8 UTSA (7-2, 4-1 American) on Saturday at 8 PM CT on ESPNU. Two of the American's best teams meet in the Alamodome, but they are far from the only contenders — 10 of the conference's 14 teams are still mathematically alive in the league race. North Texas has won six straight. UTSA is looking to bounce back after a 60-29 loss at FAU. The 76.5 over/under is the highest on the entire G6 board. North Texas is a 1.5-point road favorite.

No. 18 Oregon State (5-4, 3-2 Pac-12) at No. 1 Boise State (8-1, 5-0 Pac-12) on Saturday at 5 PM CT on USA Network is the week's clinch game. Boise State wins, Boise State clinches the Pac-12 title. Three weeks ago this matchup looked like a potential Pac-12 championship preview with College Football Playoff implications for both sides. Back-to-back losses — at Fresno State, then a 42-21 home loss to Texas State — turned Oregon State from contender into a 10.5-point underdog fighting to keep its season alive.

No. 4 Memphis (7-2, 4-1 American) at No. 20 South Florida (6-3, 2-3 American) on Thursday at 7 PM CT on ESPN is the week's marquee television game. Memphis is still very much alive for the American championship — and a Memphis team that wins out cannot be ruled out of the College Football Playoff conversation. The Tigers blew out then-No. 9 Army 49-22 in their last game. South Florida has lost two of its last three, including a 20-17 defeat at East Carolina on a 55-yard field goal with two seconds remaining.

No. 10 Ohio (7-2, 5-0 MAC) at No. 24 Miami OH (5-4, 3-2 MAC) on Tuesday at 7 PM CT on ESPN2 opens the week — and MACtion is already delivering. Last week's midweek MAC slate produced two overtime games (Buffalo 34, Miami OH 31; Massachusetts 31, Ball State 30), a fourth-quarter comeback by MAC-leading Ohio against last-place Akron and a one-possession finish for Toledo. The only comfortable MAC result was Central Michigan's 35-7 win over Eastern Michigan. Now Ohio, the MAC's lone unbeaten, visits a Miami team that is a 1.5-point home favorite despite the inferior conference record.

No. 17 FAU (6-3, 3-2 American) at No. 23 Tulsa (5-4, 2-3 American) on Saturday at 2:30 PM CT on ESPN+ features two teams that each hung 60 points last week. FAU put 60 on then-No. 3 UTSA. Tulsa dropped 60 on Tulane — a 50-point margin that was the largest in series history. The 73.5 over/under is the second-highest on the G6 board. Tulsa is a 5.5-point home favorite.

No. 25 Fresno State (5-4, 2-3 Pac-12) at No. 16 Texas State (5-4, 3-2 Pac-12) on Saturday at 3 PM CT on CW rounds out the ranked matchups. Texas State routed then-No. 7 Oregon State 42-21 last week and climbed eight spots to No. 16. Fresno State has lost two straight after its upset of Oregon State two weeks ago. Texas State is an 8.5-point home favorite.

In Alabama, Troy (4-5, 2-3 Sun Belt) visits South Alabama (4-5, 2-3 Sun Belt) on Saturday at 6 PM CT on ESPN+ in the annual Battle of the Belt. Both need a win — the loser would have to win its final two games to reach bowl eligibility. South Alabama is a 2.5-point home favorite. The 55.5 over/under is the highest among the three Alabama team games.

Games to watch

DG6 No. 3 North Texas (7-2, 5-0 American) at DG6 No. 8 UTSA (7-2, 4-1 American) — Saturday, 8 PM CT, ESPNU

Line: UNT -1.5 | O/U: 76.5

North Texas is 5-0 in conference play and has won six straight behind Tayven Jackson (303 yards, a touchdown and a rushing score last week against Rice) and Jahiem White (139 yards, three touchdowns). UTSA is 4-1 after the 60-29 loss at FAU — Owen McCown threw for 265 yards and three touchdowns in the loss but the defense gave up 339 rushing yards. Ten of the American's 14 teams are still mathematically alive in the conference race. A second North Texas win over UTSA would give the Mean Green the head-to-head tiebreaker. The 76.5 over/under is the highest on the G6 board.

DG6 No. 18 Oregon State (5-4, 3-2 Pac-12) at DG6 No. 1 Boise State (8-1, 5-0 Pac-12) — Saturday, 5 PM CT, USA Net

Line: BOIS -10.5 | O/U: 66.5

The Pac-12 clinch game. Boise State wins, Boise State takes the conference title. Max Cutforth went 16-of-19 for 317 yards and four touchdowns in his first start after Maddux Madsen's knee injury — the Broncos rolled up 669 total yards in a 64-38 win at Colorado State. Oregon State has lost two straight — at Fresno State and 42-21 at home to Texas State — and was outgained 600-347 against the Bobcats. Three weeks ago this looked like a Pac-12 title game preview. Now it is a survival game for Oregon State.

DG6 No. 4 Memphis (7-2, 4-1 American) at DG6 No. 20 South Florida (6-3, 2-3 American) — Thursday, 7 PM CT, ESPN

Line: MEM -5.5 | O/U: 48.5

Thursday night on ESPN with American championship and College Football Playoff implications. Memphis needs a win to stay within striking distance of North Texas for the conference title — and a Memphis team that wins out would have a case for the CFP. Marcus Stokes accounted for five touchdowns and completed 29-of-35 for 371 yards in the 49-22 rout of then-No. 9 Army. South Florida has lost two of three. Andrew Conrad's 55-yard field goal with two seconds remaining beat the Bulls at East Carolina last week.

DG6 No. 10 Ohio (7-2, 5-0 MAC) at DG6 No. 24 Miami OH (5-4, 3-2 MAC) — Tuesday, 7 PM CT, ESPN2

Line: M-OH -1.5 | O/U: 48.5

Tuesday night MACtion with conference-title stakes. Last week's midweek MAC slate delivered: Buffalo 34, Miami OH 31 in overtime. Massachusetts 31, Ball State 30 in overtime. Ohio rallied in the fourth quarter against last-place Akron. Toledo survived Sacramento State 20-17. The only comfortable result was CMU's 35-7 win. Now the MAC's lone unbeaten visits Oxford, where Miami is a 1.5-point home favorite despite its inferior conference record. Ohio is 5-0 in MAC play for the first time since 1997. Buffalo's overtime win was its first at Miami since 2015 — and the RedHawks' Kellan McLaughlin missed a 45-yard field goal attempt that would have forced double overtime.

DG6 No. 17 FAU (6-3, 3-2 American) at DG6 No. 23 Tulsa (5-4, 2-3 American) — Saturday, 2:30 PM CT, ESPN+

Line: TLSA -5.5 | O/U: 73.5

Both teams hung 60 last week. FAU put 60 on then-No. 3 UTSA — Caden Veltkamp threw four touchdowns and Leonard Farrow rushed for 126 yards. Tulsa dropped 60 on Tulane — Baylor Hayes completed 26-of-33 for 338 yards and four touchdowns and Oran Singleton Jr. caught 13 passes for 177 yards and three scores. The 73.5 over/under is the second-highest on the G6 board. Tulsa is a 5.5-point home favorite.

DG6 No. 25 Fresno State (5-4, 2-3 Pac-12) at DG6 No. 16 Texas State (5-4, 3-2 Pac-12) — Saturday, 3 PM CT, CW

Line: TXST -8.5 | O/U: 60.5

Three weeks ago Fresno State upset Oregon State at home to crack the Top 25. Since then the Bulldogs have lost two straight — including a 17-10 home loss to Utah State in which they managed 16 rushing yards. Texas State rolled up 600 total yards — 386 on the ground — in a 42-21 win at Oregon State. Texas State is an 8.5-point home favorite.

Troy (4-5, 2-3 Sun Belt) at South Alabama (4-5, 2-3 Sun Belt) — Saturday, 6 PM CT, ESPN+

Line: USA -2.5 | O/U: 55.5

The annual Battle of the Belt in Mobile. Both are 4-5 overall and 2-3 in Sun Belt play. The loser would need to win out to reach bowl eligibility. South Alabama is a 2.5-point home favorite.
