This week's slate begins on Saturday with Army kicking off its season at home against Bryant, as the Black Knights look to build off a solid 2025 season. Following that will be Navy getting its season started by hosting Towson in Annapolis, with the Midshipmen hoping for another strong campaign after going 11-2 in 2025.

After the service academies get things started, the action shifts west for the evening. Utah State hosts Idaho State in their first game as a member of the new-look Pac-12, and then Nevada hosts Western Kentucky in the nightcap in what is expected to be a highly competitive battle between quality Group of 6 squads.

CBS Sports Network will carry all four games, with full viewing info, betting lines and key storylines to follow as Week 14 unfolds.

He will join a defense that added five defensive players in the April draft, including first-round pick Caleb Banks. Minnesota opens the 2026 season at home against the Packers on September 13.
