A number of nonconference clashes highlight the weekend, plus Florida hosts No. 1 Alabama in a showdown at The Swamp.
Week 3 of the college football season is here, and it features multiple top-25 teams in potentially tricky situations.
No. 1 Alabama (at No. 11 Florida), No. 8 Cincinnati (at Indiana), No. 15 Virginia Tech (at West Virginia), No. 16 Coastal Carolina (at Buffalo) No. 19 Arizona State (at No. 23 BYU) and No. 22 Auburn (at No. 10 Penn State) will all hit the road on Saturday hoping to avoid getting tripped up, especially following a Week 2 that saw a number of top teams either lose (Ohio State, Iowa State, Texas, USC, Utah) or narrowly escape a significant upset (Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Miami).
