The sorting out process of the 2024 college football season is beginning. The top six teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll didn’t move in the rankings this week, but the next 19 spots were all different. Week 3 could be just as impactful.
Though there are only two games on the schedule involving two ranked teams in either national poll, there’s a variety of matchups to choose from. No. 4 Alabama faces a rare non conference game on the road when it plays at Wisconsin. No. 8 Missouri gets its first test when it hosts Boston College and new coach Bill O’Brien, two weeks removed from their upset of Florida State. No. 1 Georgia opens SEC play against Kentucky and No. 17 LSU plays its first league game at South Carolina.
There’s also bunch of interesting regional rivalry games – including a few that used to be conference matchups not long ago. Oregon–Oregon State and Washington–Washington State will play under this distinction for the first time because of the Pac-12’s demise on Saturday instead of the end of the regular season. The Backyard Brawl (Pittsburgh–West Virginia), Colorado–Colorado State, Utah–Utah State and Maryland-Virginia are all on tap, too.
Who will get upset this week? Here’s the full Football Bowl Subdivision schedule for Saturday during Week 3 of the 2024 college football season, including game times and how to watch:
