SEC

The SEC East simply obtained much more attention-grabbing.

And we’re not speaking about Tennessee lastly getting its first win of the season in opposition to Chattanooga. The Vols have a tricky street forward.

Reasonably, the supposed two-man race for the division — the Georgia Bulldogs vs. the Florida Gators — was turned on its head Saturday when Florida beginning quarterback Feleipe Franks was misplaced for the season due to a dislocated ankle. Trailing Kentucky by double digits on the time of the harm, it seemed as if the Gators’ season was misplaced.

Enter Kyle Trask, who accomplished 4 consecutive passes, scored the go-ahead landing and customarily seemed very comfy working the offense. So perhaps, simply perhaps, Florida is not accomplished for. Possibly it can provide Georgia a run for its cash.

Within the West, it stays to be seen whether or not it is a comparable two-man race between Alabama and LSU. Auburn definitely can get in on the motion and seemed strong beating Kent State, however subsequent weekend will probably be a giant take a look at when it takes freshman quarterback Bo Nix for his first true street take a look at on the house of the 12th Man at Texas A&M. — Alex Scarborough

The highest of the Huge Ten has been straightforward to decipher by means of the primary three weeks. Ohio State has been out forward and hasn’t proven any indicators of slowing.

The center of the pack, nonetheless, has been a back-and-forth of shut video games, particularly over the weekend with Michigan State shedding to Arizona State at house, Minnesota squeaking by Georgia Southern and Purdue taking its second lack of the season to fall to 1-2.

Others suffered a letdown: Iowa State dropped the battle for the Cy-Hawk Trophy to Iowa, and Texas Tech could not rating a #Pac12AfterDark win at Arizona. The shock of the weekend: Les Miles and Kansas upended Boston Faculty. Possibly issues aren’t going to be so unhealthy in Lawrence, in spite of everything.

Pac-12

Utah and Washington State stay atop the rankings after each groups tied bows on excellent nonconference schedules.

That mixed 6-Zero report, nonetheless, did not embody a Energy 5 opponent, so whereas the Utes and Cougars are feeling good with convention play prepared to start, there’s loads of motive to permit for a shakeup at any level. The most important winner of the week, with out query, was Arizona State, which topped No. 18 Michigan State in a weird recreation on the street.

The Solar Devils have but to surrender greater than seven factors in a recreation this season, however their offense has been virtually equally unimpressive. The Solar Devils additionally moved to Three-Zero, which is one thing USC cannot say.

Not solely did the Trojans lose to BYU, their win in opposition to Stanford would not look that good within the wake of the Cardinal’s blowout street loss to UCF. — Kyle Bonagura

Georgia Tech misplaced to The Citadel, the one recreation left on its schedule the place it was an FPI favourite. However the topper was Boston Faculty, which inexplicably misplaced to Kansas at house as a three-touchdown favourite.

We knew the Jackets would battle this yr. However optimism was excessive at BC, till Friday the 13th hit. You simply cannot lose to Kansas at house. Not when Kansas had misplaced 48 straight street video games to Energy 5 opponents.

In case you are in search of just a few vivid spots, Clemson stays the unquestioned No. 1 after taking good care of Syracuse and a heavy favourite to make it again to the Faculty Soccer Playoff. Virginia is off to its first Three-Zero begin since 2004.
