Jacksonville State visits Kennesaw State Wednesday in a Conference USA rematch of last year’s title game, with the Gamecocks at 3-2 overall and 1-0 in conference play after two straight wins, while the 1-3 Owls are looking to end a three-game losing streak. Jacksonville State has been more productive overall, averaging 27.4 points per game, and quarterback Caden Creel contributes both as a passer and runner. Kennesaw State’s ground game is a strength, but the Owls have struggled to produce through the air; quarterback Rickie Collins has added a rushing threat. The teams split their two meetings last year, and Kennesaw State leads the all-time series 4-3. The game is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET at Fifth Third Stadium and will air on CBS Sports Network.

The College Football Playoff says its expanded media-rights agreement with ESPN is in final review, paving the way for a proposed 24-team playoff starting in 2027, with four Power Four automatic bids, one Group of Six bid and 19 at-large spots. The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.
