Week 3 of the college football season didn’t boast many upsets, but it was still a very intriguing week. Alabama went on the road and smoked Wisconsin 42-10, Georgia struggled past Kentucky 13-12 and Florida State fell to 0-3.
The Oregon Ducks played their best game of the year to get past in-state rivals Oregon State 49-14, but four teams still seem to be ahead of the pack in Georgia, Ohio State, Texas and Alabama. Georgia and Alabama will both be on bye in Week 4 before their mega-collision in Tuscaloosa on Sept. 28.
Nobody in the top ten of the odds from last week lost so there isn’t a ton of movement of this week in terms of the teams, but some of the lines did change according to BetMGM:
