2025-2026 College Football Friday Night Betting Online
The Friday Night College Football schedule for Week 6 takes place on Friday, September October 3, 2025. There are actually quite a few games this week, with five on the schedule. The most intriguing matchup looks to be on ESPN with West Virginia visiting No. 23 BYU. Also on the slate is Western Kentucky at Delaware on CBSSN, Charlotte at South Florida on ESPN 2, New Mexico at San Jose State on FS1 and Colorado State at San Diego State on CBSSN.
Charlotte 49ers (1-3) at USF Bulls (3-1) - 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2
Charlotte travels to Tampa desperate to salvage their struggling season against a USF program that has emerged as one of the American Athletic Conference's surprise contenders under head coach Alex Golesh. The 49ers have endured a nightmarish start to their campaign, managing just one victory while struggling on both sides of the ball in what was supposed to be a breakthrough year for the program. USF enters riding the momentum of a 3-1 start that has validated Golesh's aggressive recruiting and offensive philosophy, with the Bulls showcasing a dynamic attack that has consistently moved the ball against quality opposition. This AAC clash at Raymond James Stadium represents a pivotal moment for both programs, as Charlotte desperately needs a signature road victory to keep their bowl hopes alive while USF seeks to establish themselves as legitimate contenders in a competitive conference race that could determine their postseason destination.
West Virginia Mountaineers (2-3) at BYU Cougars (4-0) - 10:30 PM ET, ESPN
West Virginia faces their most daunting challenge yet as they travel to Provo to battle undefeated BYU in a Big 12 showdown that could define both programs' conference championship aspirations. The Mountaineers have struggled to find consistency under new head coach Rich Rodriguez in his return to Morgantown, posting a disappointing 2-3 record that has left their season hanging in the balance as they enter the meat of their conference schedule. BYU has emerged as one of college football's most pleasant surprises, maintaining their perfect record through four games behind a balanced attack and opportunistic defense that has thrived in their transition to Big 12 competition. The late-night kickoff at LaVell Edwards Stadium provides a hostile environment where the Cougars have historically dominated, making this a must-win game for West Virginia if they hope to remain relevant in the Big 12 race while BYU seeks to prove their early-season success is sustainable against quality conference opposition.
Each year, the college football schedule for Friday night action reveals that major colleges are seeking any means and path to generate revenue, while schools with lower profiles are looking for additional exposure. Naturally, lesser-known teams from the Group of Five conferences are eager to take the field on Friday nights when the bigger brands are off. This strategy allows them the full attention of fans, gamblers, and, most importantly, prospective recruits. Teams that would normally be ignored on a full Saturday find that the entire nation is focused on their Friday night matchups.

2025-2026 Friday Night College Football Schedule
Week 6 - Friday, October 3, 2025
WKU Hilltoppers at Delaware Blue Hens, 7 pm, CBSSN
Charlotte 49ers at USF Bulls, 7 pm, ESPN2
The Bulls are big home favorites in college football odds against Charlotte on Friday night. Charlotte arrives in Tampa carrying the weight of a disastrous start under first-year head coach Tim Albin, with quarterback Conner Harrell desperately searching for offensive rhythm in what has become a nightmare debut season for the 49ers. Harrell has struggled mightily behind a porous offensive line, managing just 140 yards on 17 completions in a demoralizing 20-3 loss to North Carolina that highlighted Charlotte's inability to sustain drives or create explosive plays. The 49ers have managed a mere 21 rushing yards in their most recent outing, underscoring systemic issues that have plagued Albin's transition from Ohio, where he built a reputation for offensive innovation. Charlotte's lone victory came against FCS Monmouth, but losses to Appalachian State (34-11), TCU, and UNC have exposed fundamental flaws on both sides of the ball, leaving the program searching for answers as they enter conference play with their bowl hopes hanging by a thread. The series history between these programs is limited, but Charlotte dominated their most recent meeting in 2023 when Byrum Brown was injured, winning 48-14 behind a ground game that exploited USF's defensive vulnerabilities.
Alex Golesh's Bulls enter this AAC clash riding the momentum of a transformative 2025 campaign that has established them as legitimate conference contenders behind the resurgent play of Byrum Brown, who has returned from last year's devastating leg injury better than ever. Brown has been nothing short of spectacular through four games, completing 20 of 36 passes for 274 yards against Miami and following that with a dominant four-touchdown performance against South Carolina State (14/20, 236 yards), showcasing the pocket presence and arm talent that made him one of college football's elite dual-threat quarterbacks in 2023. The senior signal-caller recently snapped a school-record 252-pass streak without an interception, demonstrating the maturity and decision-making that has elevated USF's offense to new heights under Golesh's guidance. With dynamic receivers like Chas Nimrod (96 yards vs Boise State) and tight end Christian Neptune providing reliable targets, Brown has orchestrated an attack that upset ranked Boise State 34-7 and pushed Miami before ultimately falling 38-6 in a game much closer than the final score indicated. Playing at Raymond James Stadium, where the Bulls have found their identity under Golesh, USF will look to exploit Charlotte's defensive struggles and continue their remarkable turnaround that has them positioned for their first AAC championship chase since joining the conference.
New Mexico Lobos at San Jose State Spartans, 10 pm, FS1
West Virginia Mountaineers at BYU Cougars, 10:30 pm, ESPN
West Virginia travels to Provo for a crucial Big 12 Conference showdown against BYU on Friday night, with kickoff scheduled for 10:30 PM ET on ESPN at LaVell Edwards Stadium with the Cougars listed as big home favorites in NCAA football odds. The Mountaineers (2-3, 0-2 Big 12) enter under head coach Rich Rodriguez in desperate need of a conference victory after suffering back-to-back blowout losses, including a devastating 48-14 home defeat to Utah in their most recent outing. Starting quarterback Nicco Marchiol has been ruled out with a foot injury that required a visit to a specialist in Colorado, forcing West Virginia to turn to backup Jaylen Henderson, who has appeared in limited action this season. The Mountaineers opened strongly with a 45-3 victory over Robert Morris behind Marchiol's 17-of-20 passing performance for 224 yards and a touchdown, but have struggled mightily since then, managing only three points in a 41-10 loss at Kansas before the injury sidelined their starting signal-caller.
BYU (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) has emerged as one of the season's biggest surprises under tenth-year head coach Kalani Sitake, riding an undefeated start that includes an impressive road comeback victory at Colorado where they overcame a 14-0 deficit to win 24-21. True freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier has been the catalyst for the Cougars' success, making history as the first freshman to start a season opener in program history while displaying remarkable poise and efficiency throughout the early season. Bachmeier burst onto the scene with five total touchdowns in a dominant 69-0 victory over Portland State and has continued to impress with his decision-making and playmaking ability, throwing two crucial touchdown passes in the comeback win over Colorado while the defense has been equally impressive in limiting opponents to just 9.25 points per game through four contests. Playing as heavy home favorites at LaVell Edwards Stadium in the late Friday night slot, the Cougars will look to exploit West Virginia's quarterback uncertainty and offensive struggles as they aim to remain unbeaten and continue building momentum in their promising Big 12 campaign.
