Week 14: UTEP at East Carolina
East Carolina clinched a spot in the Dec. 6 Conference USA Championship game by virtue of its come-from-behind win against UAB last weekend. Now the Pirates could play the role of spoiler. If ECU closes with a win over UTEP, it will keep the Miners from the postseason for the third straight year.
Week 13: UTEP at Houston
In a rare gathering of Conference USA teams in Houston (Marshall and Rice play at the same time several miles away), UTEP will be fighting to become bowl eligible and Houston will be fighting to retain the inside track to the West Division title.
Week 12: SMU at UTEP
After an impressive road win over Sun Belt Conference leader Louisiana-Lafayette last weekend, UTEP finds itself in position for the postseason, but they must start with a victory over lowly SMU.
Week 11 National Notebook
Utah moved to 10-0 after a big victory against TCU while Texas Tech and Alabama won the two highest-profile games of the weekend. Mitch Light takes you across the college football landscape in his Week 11 national notebook.
Week 11: UTEP at Louisiana-Lafayette
Louisiana-Lafayette is in the driver’s seat all alone in the Sun Belt title race, but it takes a detour this week with a non-conference game against UTEP, which has lost back-to-back CUSA games.
Week 10: Rice at UTEP
These teams combined for 104 points in last year's game (won 56-48 by Rice) and it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume they'll match or surpass that total.
Under The Radar: Week 9
The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC all have marquee match-ups this weekend. But the battle for Pac-10 supremacy will also take place in Tuscan, Arizona. Mike Stoops and Co. are set to take on the USC Trojans late Saturday night.
Under The Radar: Week 8
The Big 12 continues to be the conference to watch on Saturday's with marquee match-ups in Austin, Texas and Norman, Okla. However, there are a few other games to watch this weekend that aren't necessarily getting the national hype.
Week 8: UTEP at Tulsa
In a matchup of league unbeatens, a resurgent UTEP squad, led by quarterback Trevor Vittatoe, will attempt to corral a Tulsa team on the brink of a national ranking and take the C-USA West Division lead.
Week 7: Tulane at UTEP
Much of the Miners' success the past two weeks has been the result of sophomore quarterback Trevor Vittatoe, who has returned from an early-season ankle injury. They'll try to keep their run going against Tulane, which is coming off a bad loss to Army last week.
Under The Radar: Week 6
The upsets continue as Pitt took down South Florida Thursday night. Are there any other teams that need to be on upset alert? Penn State travels to Purdue, Texas heads to Boulder and the 5-0 UConn Huskies are on Tobacco Road this weekend.
Week 6: UTEP at Southern Miss
Southern Miss had a week off to recover from its unexpected home loss to Marshall, while UTEP recovered from an 0-3 start in impressive fashion. Now they face each other.
Under The Radar: Week 5
Oregon State has thrown the first wrench into the BCS landscape with their 27-21 victory over USC last night. The Horned Frogs of TCU will try their best to do the same Saturday against the Sooners.
Week 5: UCF at UTEP
Two teams that have fallen on hard times meet at the Sun Bowl in the C-USA opener for both.
Five burning questions: Week 5
Has the Big 12 North caught up to the Big 12 South? Will a Conference USA, MAC or Sun Belt team ever reach a BCS Bowl game? Athlon's editors debate these questions and more in the Week 5 edition of Five Burning Questions.

Under The Radar: Week 4
This is easily the biggest slate of games thus far in 2008. SEC powers will be on display all over the schedule but it doesn't mean that there aren't solid match-ups elsewhere this weekend.
Week 4: New Mexico State at UTEP
Two fierce rivals desperately in need of some good news meet in El Paso.
