BYU (8-1)

Opponent: San Diego State

Day: Saturday
Time: Noon
TV: The mtn.
Radio: 1160AM, 102.7FM
About the Aztecs: The 1-8 Aztecs only win has come against the Idaho Vandals (2-8). And now comes the difficult part of their schedule, with BYU this week and Utah on Nov. 15. If that wasn't enough, the five-touchdown underdogs are 7-24-1 vs. BYU.

Utah (9-0)

About the Horned Frogs: Like the Utes, a win gives TCU at least a share of the MWC title. The biggest matchup will be TCU's No. 2-ranked defense against Utah's sputtering offense. TCU's Jerry Huges has 14 sacks — three better than anyone else in the country.

Utah State (2-7)

Opponent: Boise State
Location: Boise
Day: Saturday
Time: Noon
TV: KJZZ
Radio: 1320AM
About the Broncos: They also have BCS aspirations, and BSU is rolling through the WAC. 17 points is the closest anybody has come in the Broncos four WAC victories. Head coach Chris Petersen is 30-3 in his third season.

Weber State (8-2)

Opponent: Idaho State
Location: at Pocatello
Day: Saturday
Time: 1:30 p.m.
TV: Altitude
Radio: 1430AM
About the Bengals: The Bengals are in the midst of a miserable season. ISU is 0-9 and hasn't even sniffed a victory since hosting North Dakota, losing 38-35. The Bengals has lost 13 straight.
