ESPN updates college football power rankings after Week 3
It wasn’t as wild of a week as Week 2, but there were still some fireworks across the sport of college football.
While the top dogs all rolled — Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, and Oklahoma all won convincingly and in dominant fashion — it took longer for some other teams to put their opponents away. Texas A&M upended Miami after the Aggies were embarrassed in Week 2, Clemson’s lopsided score was close until late, and Arkansas all but survived Bobby Petrino and Missouri State. Michigan State lost to unranked Washington, Penn State throttled Auburn, Wake Forest needed a miracle against Liberty, and Texas outlasted UTSA.
