Week 3 doesn’t look very appetizing on the surface, but you never know when there’s going to be a seismic upset.
Saturday started off a bit chalky with No. 4 Alabama blowing out Wisconsin after Badgers QB Tyler Van Dyke suffered an injury on the opening drive. No. 6 Missouri continued that with a nervy come-from-behind home win over No. 24 Boston College.
No. 16 LSU also needed to rally on the road against South Carolina after falling behind 17-0 early. The Tigers did just that, earning a crucial SEC win as the Gamecocks’ game-tying kick sailed wide as time expired.
Perhaps the most notable result of the day was yet another disastrous Florida State loss.
Here’s the afternoon game we’re keeping a close eye on.
Time: 3:30 p.m. | TV: Fox | Line: 16.5 | Total: 50.5
This rivalry continues even though Oregon is now a member of the Big Ten and Oregon State and Washington State are in the Pac-12 wilderness (though they did get some encouraging news this week). Oregon has dropped from No. 3 at the start of the season to No. 9 thanks to two close wins. The Beavers will be hoping to knock down their hated rivals at home, especially after the Ducks bolted from the Pac-12.
