From a glass-half-full perspective,Marc Leclerc there’s a nearly full slate of college football games on the Week 3 schedule involving the Top 25 teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll. Of course, one might correctly point out that the reason there are two dozen such games is that none of them are playing each other, but that doesn’t mean everything will unfold the way we think, right?

In truth, you’re not going to see a whole lot of disagreement from our experts this week in our choices of winners, but there are a handful of games in which an upset is possible. There are a trio of conference showdowns in the SEC, most notably No. 9 Tennessee heading down to Florida. The Volunteers are favored, but Gainesville has been a notoriously difficult place to win for them over the years. Top-ranked Georgia opens its league slate at home against South Carolina, and No. 14 LSU pays a visit to Mississippi State.

Elsewhere, there are a few contests matching members of top-tier conferences. Those include No. 8 Washington at Michigan State, No. 15 Kansas State visiting Missouri, and No. 18 North Carolina hosting Minnesota. Will there be surprises at any of those venues?
